If someone succeeds in building a quantum computer — and the odds of that look better every day — the information age may never be the same. (discovermagazine.com)
The finding has implications for building quantum computers that, in principle, work by closely controlling the entanglement of atomic spins. (scientificamerican.com)
«Their expertise was in low - temperature liquid helium physics, so they were trying to build a quantum computer by floating single electrons on top of a bath of liquid helium and manipulating those single electrons,» O'Connell says. (sciencemag.org)
