A quantum computer has used a single atom to model the complex dynamics of organic molecules interacting with light ...

The single atom can encode the information that is normally spread across a dozen or so ‘qubits’, the computational units used in most quantum computers. The findings were published on 14 May ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy ...

Silicon spin qubits could soon help unlock the next stage of quantum computing. For decades, scientists have tried to harness ...

Quantum computing, machines built on the counterintuitive laws of sub-atomic physics, promises raw processing muscle so immense it can crack today’s “unhackable” encryption in seconds.  The same ...

Quantum computing is an enigma, some practitioners see it as still embryonic technology with few practical examples in place, while others say it is ready-t-eat..

Mike Bryant, CTO of Future Horizons, gave a tour d’horizon of the future of semiconductor process technology at the IFS-MT2010 ...

The same error-prone sensitivity that has slowed down the development of quantum computers is being turned ... focuses on the response of a single atom or photon of light to “measure” external ...

In Wednesday's issue of Nature, researchers describe creating qudits, the generic term for systems that hold quantum ...
