NTT Focuses on Light For Cleaner, Scalable Path to Quantum Computing

Japan quantum

Insider Brief Japan is advancing a room-temperature quantum computing strategy built on light rather than electricity, a move that researchers say could reshape the race for faster, cleaner and more scalable machines. Japanese technology conglomerate NTT, working with quantum developer OptQC, is promoting optical quantum computing as a lower-power alternative to the ultra-cold, energy-hungry systems […]

In Quantum Signaling Advance, Stanford Researchers Demonstrate ‘Smaller, Simpler, Cheaper’ Nanoscale Optical Device

stanford quantum

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Present-day quantum computers are big, expensive, and impractical, operating at temperatures near -459 degrees Fahrenheit, or “absolute zero.” In a new paper, however, materials scientists at Stanford University introduce a new nanoscale optical device that works at room temperature to entangle the spin of photons (particles of light) and electrons to […]
