Since it is likely that the qubit states here are not single-holed donuts, we probably cannot use the rules of topology to turn them into coffee cups. There is, however, an excellently long-lived ...

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built ...

The qubit is not good enough for quantum logic operations, but researchers hope that further efforts could lead to applications in quantum sensing and quantum memories. Contemporary quantum computing ...

The qubit processor is about as wide as the thickness of a fingernail. Small is key because estimates indicate that a world-changing quantum computer will need one million to 10 million qubits, ...

Can insights from topology—the study of the properties of 3D objects that persist when an object is stretched or compressed—be applied in the field of quantum information processing? Juan Lin ...

A new paper gives fellow quantum physicists a tool to help explore the geometry of the universe. They say one qubit’s behavior, regardless of its starting position, forms a predictable geometric ...

Technology Qubit breakthrough could make it easier to build quantum computers. Quantum computers that correct their own errors usually require hundreds of thousands of qubits.

Each qubit (gray square) involves a left and right resonance chamber (blue dots) that a photon can move between. Each of the qubits has connections that allow entanglement with its nearest neighbors.
