Exploring Ascella, the Single-Photon Quantum Computing Prototype
At Quandela have developed Ascella, a general-purpose single-photon-based quantum computing platform. Ascella is a quantum computer that uses a highly efficient quantum dot single photon source, which functions much like a miniature box that produces single photons on-demand which then go into its universal interferometer to perform the computation and subsequently are detected at the output for processing.
