AMD has proposed a patent for 'teleportation,' substance things could be about to get much more efficient around here. With the incredible technological feats humanity achieves on a unit of time ground, and Nvidia's Johannes Vilhelm Jensen going off along one last year about GeForce holodecks and time machines, it's easy for us to skid into a headspace that lets us conceive genuine human teleportation is right roughly the street corner.

"Finally," you suspiration, mouthing the headline to yourself. "Goodbye work commute, hello pop to Japan for an authentic Ramen on my lunch break."

I'm sorry to say the reality is much less... palpable.

Our colleagues over at Tom's Hardware spotted the new patent lain falling by AMD engineers, named 'Look-onward teleportation for reliable computation in multi-SIMD quantum processor.' As the title suggests, information technology looks like the company has been researching systems involving quantum teleportation processes. The aim is to ameliorate the current reliability of quantum computation, and even reduce the number of qubits necessary to make high-fidelity calculations.

The patent file [pdf warning] contains stone's throw by step out diagrams detailing the projected process. Essentially, the 'out-of-order' execution method acting AMD is looking to lay claim to ensures some Qubits that would be leftish idle—waiting for their calculation step to come around—are capable to execute independent of a prior issue. Where usually they would need to waiting for previous Qubits to provide instructions, they can calculate simultaneously, no need to wait eligible.

So, nary, we're non going to be zipping through wormholes retributive yet. But if AMD's designs come through with, we could be looking at such more high-octane, scalable and stable quantum computing architecture than we have straight off.

Eff sports, Katie would rather watch Intel, AMD and Nvidia go at information technology. She can often be institute admiring Artificial insemination advancements, sighing over semiconductors, or gawping at the a la mode GPU upgrades. She's been obsessed with computers and artwork since she was small, and took Game Fine art and Design adequate to Masters level at uni. Her thirst for derisory Raspberry Pi projects volition never be sated, and she will stop at nothing to spread internet safety awareness—down with the hackers.
