Sentences with phrase «manipulate qubits»

These gates manipulate qubits, which, unlike classical bits, can represent both a 0 and 1 at the same time, making it theoretically possible to compute the answers to large problems much faster than on an ordinary computer.

Not exact matches

To achieve these ends, physicists including Chris Monroe of the University of Maryland are also manipulating nature, arranging their qubits, ions in Monroe's case, in neat little lines.

In their new paper, the team reports going a step further, to control the interactions of these 51 trapped atoms, a necessary step toward manipulating individual qubits.

In diamond at room temperature, Maurer et al. (p. 1283) show that a spin - based qubit system comprised of an isotopic impurity (13C) in the vicinity of a color defect (a nitrogen - vacancy center) could be manipulated to have a coherence time exceeding one second.

The researchers» next goal is «to manipulate and control a single electron and its spin on double - dot single - electron devices by using asymmetric side-gate electrodes to demonstrate spin qubits,» said Majima.

Qubits, aka quantum bits, can encode both a «zero» and a «one» at the same time within their relative spin, so they are being pursued for storing and manipulating information in quantum computers.

The University of Chicago's David Awschalom and his associates have developed techniques to initialize, manipulate, and read out the electronic spin of this qubit using only pulses of light.

A chip that combines ions and circuits in this way might be able to manipulate many qubits, eventually cracking cryptographic codes and enabling us to simulate peculiar quantum theories of the universe.

Existing methods to create qubits rely on trapping atoms with lasers or manipulating nuclear spins in semiconductor crystals, among other approaches.

Instead of flipping ordinary bits that can be set to either 0 or 1, a so - called universal quantum computer would manipulate quantum bits, or «qubits,» that can be 0, 1, or, thanks to the weirdness of quantum mechanics, 0 and 1 at the same time.

In a paper published in npj Quantum Information2., CEA - Leti and Inac reported that an electron spin in a SOI transistor can also be manipulated by pure electrical signals, which enable fast and scalable spin qubits.
