Researchers Abuzz About Connection Between Bees, Stockbrokers, Fluids And Quantum Simulators
UNIVERSITY NEWS — At first glance, a system consisting of 51 ions may appear simple. But even if these charged atoms can only assume two different states, there will be more than two quadrillion (1015) different configurations which the system can realize. The behavior of such a system can therefore hardly be calculated with conventional computers. […]

Atom Computing Researchers Keep Qubits in Coherence For Record Time
Think of qubits as delicate geniuses who need perfect quiet and isolation to do their best work. The slightest disturbance — a gabby co-worker, or, in the case of qubits, an annoying cosmic ray or magnetic field — can throw off their concentration and destroy their ability to get work done. For quantum scientists, keeping […]
