While practical quantum computers are still years and years away, the research opens up new paths toward their eventual creation. (sciencedaily.com)
Using photons, the basic unit of light, he demonstrated that multiple particles could be entangled, a key step toward practical quantum computers. (discovermagazine.com)
Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on «topological insulators,» an emerging class of materials that could make possible «spintronic» devices and practical quantum computers far more powerful than today's technologies, is shown here inspecting devices made from topological insulators under a microscope before electrical measurements.
