Our 5-qubit device forms a star configuration
where the four qubits connect to the center
qubit.
Our new 16-qubit device is actually much larger.
So it is a two by eight square array forming
the ladder structure along the one direction.
With this new 16-qubit device we can start
to explore different configurations of a multi
qubit interaction so we can start extending
the entanglement across the lattice and we
can run more complex algorithms that we couldn't
run with a 5-qubit system.
So with our new 16-qubit device users can
form a more advance task on the Quantum Experience.
For instance it can be used to simulate for
energy levels of simple molecules.
We really hope this new device will boost
further interest in quantum computing overall
and also the community-based research that
takes place on the Quantum Experience.
