NIST achieves record-low error rate for quantum information processing with one qubit

Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - 08:30 in Physics & Chemistry

(PhysOrg.com) -- Thanks to advances in experimental design, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have achieved a record-low probability of error in quantum information processing with a single quantum bit (qubit)—the first published error rate small enough to meet theoretical requirements for building viable quantum computers.
