MIT physicists predict exotic form of matter with potential for quantum computing

Boston MA (SPX) Nov 19, 2024
MIT physicists have shown that it should be possible to create an exotic form of matter that could be manipulated to form the qubit (quantum bit) building blocks of future quantum computers that are even more powerful than the quantum computers in development today. The work builds on a discovery last year of materials that host electrons that can split into fractions of themselves but, importantly, can do so without the application of a magnetic field. The general phenomenon of electron fra ... read more

How to build a quantum computer that's actually useful

Blacksburg VA (SPX) Oct 20, 2024
Becoming useful is the next key chapter in the quantum coming-of-age story. Quantum computers have yet to outperform today's computers on problem-solving tasks, but a Virginia Tech research team has a plan to bring this next milestone closer: applying an algorithm that can be tailored simultaneously to different types of quantum computers and to specific problems being solved. Earlier this month, the Department of Energy awarded the interdisciplinary, multi-university team a five-year, $5 mi ... read more
