Physicists Find Way To Control Individual Bits In Quantum Computers

Tuesday, July 7, 2009 - 11:35 in Physics & Chemistry

Physicists have overcome a hurdle in quantum computer development, having devised a viable way to manipulate a single "bit" in a quantum processor without disturbing the information stored in its neighbors. The approach, which makes novel use of polarized light to create "effective" magnetic fields, could bring the long-sought computers a step closer to reality.
