Quantum computing? Progress in the fight against quantum dissipation

Wednesday, April 16, 2014 - 19:32 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have confirmed a 50-year-old, previously untested theoretical prediction in physics and improved the energy storage time of a quantum switch by several orders of magnitude. High-quality quantum switches are essential for the development of quantum computers and the quantum internet -- innovations that would offer vastly greater information processing power and speed than classical (digital) computers, as well as more secure information transmission.
