Quantum computing breakthrough arises from unknown molecule

Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 10:21 in Physics & Chemistry

The odd behaviour of a molecule in an experimental silicon computer chip has led to a discovery that opens the door to quantum computing in semiconductors. In a Nature Physics journal paper currently online, the researchers describe how they have created a new, hybrid molecule in which its quantum state can be intentionally manipulated - a required step in the building of quantum computers...
