Quantum computers are one of the most promising and hard-to-reach goals in the world today. These machines promise unprecedented calculation power, that would make today's supercomputers look like mere pocket calculators. But achieving stable quantum operations is tremendously difficult, and groups around the wo... |

According to a new research conducted by Swedish and Polish experts, photons used for quantum-data transmissions have strength in numbers. They reveal that the elementary particles, which make up quantum bits, or qubits, the basic units of a quantum computer, are much less likely to trigger the scrambling of transmit... |
