COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists at Ohio State University have taken a step toward the development of powerful new computers -- by making tiny holes that contain nothing at all. The holes -- dark spots in ...
Similar to a classical computer, a quantum computer executes a sequence of logical computational steps - algorithms. However, it does this with the smallest physical units, so-called quantum bits (in ...
A quantum computer built using giant atoms controlled by laser light may be enough to imitate some functions of the brain, such as memory and decision-making. Rodrigo Araiza Bravo at Harvard ...
A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically ...
Like their conventional counterparts, quantum computers can also break down. They can sometimes lose the atoms they manipulate to function, which can stop calculations dead in their tracks. But ...
The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from medicine to freight logistics. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...
In 1952, at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, theoretical physicists Enrico Fermi, John Pasta and Stanislaw Ulam brainstormed ways to use the MANIAC, one of the world’s first supercomputers, to solve ...
