Quantum computers easier to build: Can tolerate faulty or missing components, researchers say

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 - 09:20 in Physics & Chemistry

Quantum computers should be much easier to build than previously thought, because they can still work with a large number of faulty or even missing components, according to researchers. This surprising discovery brings scientists one step closer to designing and building real-life quantum computing systems -- devices that could have enormous potential across a wide range of fields, from drug design, electronics, and even code-breaking.
