(PhysOrg.com) -- Two Dartmouth researchers have found a way to develop more robust `quantum gates,` which are the elementary building blocks of quantum circuits. Quantum circuits, someday, will be used to operate quantum computers, super powerful computers that have the potential to perform extremely complex algorithms quickly and efficiently.
