New Quantum Hardware Approach May Be a ‘Natural’ For Powering up Quantum Algorithms
Insider Brief Researchers devised a strategy for implementing algorithms in natural quantum interactions that could process a variety of real-world problems faster than classical devices. The natural approach, rather than induced entanglement, requires fewer connections among qubits. The team hopes to collaborate with experimental physicists also at Los Alamos to demonstrate their approach using ultracold […]
Researchers Develop a Quantum Mechanical Approach to Determining Metal Ductility
Insider Brief Researchers developed a new way to predict how well a material can withstand physical strain without cracking or breaking, or metal ductility. Currently, there are currently no robust ways to predict metal ductility. The quantum-mechanics-based approach fills a need for an inexpensive, efficient, high-throughput way to predict ductility.
