Por primera vez, un procesador cuántico fotónico logró operar en el espacio, marcando un nuevo paso para la computación cuántica fuera de la Tierra.
El dispositivo fue lanzado en junio de 2025 a bordo de un nanosatélite y funcionó a unos 510 kilómetros de altura. Durante meses, los investigadores de la Universidad de Viena realizaron experimentos utilizando fotones y confirmaron fenómenos de interferencia cuántica.
A diferencia de las grandes computadoras cuánticas terrestres, el sistema es pequeño: trabaja con dos fotones en un circuito fotónico de seis modos, consume apenas 10 vatios y no necesita refrigeración criogénica extrema.
El experimento demuestra que este tipo de tecnología puede sobrevivir al lanzamiento y funcionar en órbita. En el futuro, sistemas similares podrían procesar datos directamente desde satélites antes de enviarlos a la Tierra.
