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 ...

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

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 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 ...

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical challenges. Reading time 3 minutes In a world of ever-improving computing ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to radically reduce the time needed to perform some complex calculations from ...

Researchers demonstrated extremely strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in a quantum circuit. Stronger coupling enables faster quantum readout and operations, ultimately improving the accuracy of ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...
