Latest about quantum computers
Entangled 'Photon Triplets' Could Speed Up Telecommunication
A new particle detector has made it possible to generate three entangled photons that could be used in quantum telecommunication.
New Quantum Particle Calculations Make Waves in Field
Researchers developed a technique to calculate quantum wave functions 350 times faster than previous methods.
First 'Quantum Computer' No Faster Than Classic PC
The world's first commercial quantum computer, made by the Canadian company D-Wave Systems Inc., performed no better than a classical computer in a recent analysis.
27 Dimensions! Physicists See Photons in New Light
Researchers have directly measured a photon's 27-dimensional quantum state, which could make it simpler to build quantum-mechanical technologies such as quantum computers and unbreakable codes.
Gotcha! Photons Seen Without Being Destroyed in a First
Any device that picks up on the presence of light has to absorb its energy, and with it, the photons. At least, that was what scientists thought until now.
39 Minutes: Quantum Bits Store Data for Record Time
A new system has kept a quantum bit of information in an entangled state for 39 minutes at room temperature, more than 10 times longer than the previous record.
'Rare' Atom Finding May Advance Quantum Computers
Researchers have found a way to get quantum bits to last long enough to do computations with, using the magnetic properties of a rare earth element called holmium and the symmetry of platinum.
Spintronics Goes Through Blue Period
A simple, cheap dye might show the way to making new kinds of computers.
