Lost Particle Resurfaces As the Key to Universal Quantum Computing

Lost Particle Resurfaces As the Key to Universal Quantum ComputingA discarded mathematical oddity has become the key to unlocking universal quantum computing. By combining Ising anyons with a newly recognized particle, the neglecton, researchers showed that complex computations could be done with braiding alone. This breakthrough could make once-impossible quantum operations a reality. Fragile Qubits and the Quantum Challenge Quantum computers could one day […]

Sound Waves Unlock a New Path to Practical Quantum Computing

Sound Waves Unlock a New Path to Practical Quantum ComputingCaltech scientists have created a hybrid quantum memory that converts electrical information into sound, allowing quantum states to last 30 times longer than in standard superconducting systems. Their mechanical oscillator, like a microscopic tuning fork, could pave the way for scalable and reliable quantum storage. Quantum Bits vs. Classical Bits While traditional computers rely on […]
