New technique for cooling molecules may be stepping stone to quantum computing

Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - 13:23 in Physics & Chemistry

(Phys.org) —The next generation of computers promises far greater power and faster processing speeds than today's silicon-based based machines. These "quantum computers"—so called because they would harness the unique quantum mechanical properties of atomic particles—could draw their computing power from a collection of super-cooled molecules.
