The group additionally plans to pursue development of a multi-standard chip that is also compliant with the LTE-Advanced next-generation transmission standard.
Reddoch sees this as an opportunity for growth, as he believes academics will be lured by the prospect of a standardchip to use for exchanging genetic data.
In fact just this kind of photon-based quantum factoring has been accomplished before, but the ability to put the heart of the machine on a standardchip is promising for future applications of the idea.
