In new step toward quantum tech, scientists synthesize ‘bright’ quantum bits
With their ability to harness the strange powers of quantum mechanics, qubits are the basis for potentially world-changing technologies—like powerful new types of computers or ultra-precise sensors. Qubits (short for quantum bits) are often made of the same...
UChicago scientists turn IBM computer into a quantum material
In a groundbreaking study, a group of University of Chicago scientists announced they were able to turn IBM’s largest quantum computer into a quantum material itself. They programmed the computer such that it turned into a type of quantum material called an exciton...
