Honey, I Shrunk the Qubits: Columbia Researchers Say Atom-Thin Materials Can Help Shrink Qubits for Quantum Computers
Shrink Qubits with Atom – thin materials UNIVERSITY RESEARCH NEWS — For quantum computers to surpass their classical counterparts in speed and capacity, their qubits—which are superconducting circuits that can exist in an infinite combination of binary states—need to be on the same wavelength. Achieving this, however, has come at the cost of size. Whereas […]

In First Public Speech, UK’s Spy Chief Says Country Will Invest, Innovate and Collaborate to Counter Quantum Threats
Quantum technology — and their ability to affect global security — was specifically called out during the first public speech of the chief of the UK Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). He also said that the country has their own secret weapon to counter those threats — its business community and talented workforce Richard Moore, who […]
Stanford Researchers’ Quantum Computer Design Uses Single Atom to Manipulate Photons
UNIVERSITY RESEARCH NEWS — Today’s quantum computers are complicated to build, difficult to scale up, and require temperatures colder than interstellar space to operate. These challenges have led researchers to explore the possibility of building quantum computers that work using photons — particles of light. Photons can easily carry information from one place to another, […]
