Light-based quantum circuit does basic maths Researchers from the University of Queensland have taken a significant step in the quest to build a quantum computer, creating a light-based quantum ...

Exerting delicate control over a pair of atoms within a mere seven-millionths-of-a-second window of opportunity, physicists created an atomic circuit that may help quantum computing become a reality.

Computers have become vastly more complex than 8- and 16-bit machines of yesteryear, which had the advantage of being much simpler to program than their modern descendants. That's what led Konstantin ...
