One step closer to a quantum computer
Linkoping, Sweden (SPX) May 02, 2013
Professor Weimin Chen and his colleagues at Linkoping University, in cooperation with German and American researchers, have succeeded in both initializing and reading nuclear spins, relevant to qubits for quantum computers, at room temperature. The results have just been published in the renowned journal Nature Communications. A quantum computer is controlled by the laws of quantum physics; it promises to perform complicated calculations, or search large amounts of data, at a speed that exceeds by ... read more
