First Solid-State Quantum Computer Processor Created

Monday, June 29, 2009 - 14:49 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers at Yale University have built the first-ever quantum processor using solid state components, and have run basic algorithms to prove how it works. Previous efforts have simulated a quantum processor without using electronic components. In their tests, physicists Leonardo DiCarlo and professor Robert Schoelkopf demonstrated the perfect example of how quantum computing beats out traditional processing techniques. read more
