DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Duke researchers are spearheading an effort to build one of the largest quantum computers in academia that some say can be a game-changer in science and technology. "It's an ...

They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of thousands more. Quantum computers will only surpass classical machines if they ...

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

Scientists have demonstrated that a photonic qubit — a quantum bit powered by a particle of light — can detect and correct its own errors while running at room temperature. They say it is a ...

A breakthrough optical design allows quantum computers to read information in parallel, a key step toward building ...

Quantum computers hit a crucial milestone for error-free calculation The new record holder is a quantum computer called Jiuzhang 4.0 that makes calculations using particles of light, or photons.

European researchers are developing quantum computers using light and glass, in a collaboration that promises breakthroughs in computing power, battery technology and scientific discovery. Giulia ...
