Inside Short New research from Caltech and Oratomic suggests that fault-tolerant quantum computers may only need 10,000-20,000 qubits—much fewer than previously thought—which could speed up times up to this decade. The team has developed highly efficient quantum error correction systems using systems of neutral atoms, reducing the number of physical qubits from 1,000 to five. … Read more
Inside Short Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of California Santa Barbara have demonstrated laser and ion-trap devices that could significantly reduce quantum computing resources. The study shows that the large, complex optical systems used to control confined qubits can be replaced by integrated photonic chips while maintaining high fidelity performance. … Read more
Studying and designing quantum mechanics is a fundamental application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, material scientists, and physicists focus on the subtle interactions of quantum materials and to reveal them they rely on sophisticated experimental and experimental techniques. Computer simulations that link tiny quantum interactions to measurable properties complement experimental data to link structure to function … Read more
