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.

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.

Researchers in Switzerland have created a mechanical qubit using an acoustic wave resonator, marking a significant step forward in quantum acoustodynamics. The qubit is not good enough for quantum ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Microsoft is claiming to have created a topological qubit—something engineers have been trying to achieve for years.

A Kerr nonlinear oscillator can be used as a qubit in quantum computing, as it can generate two simultaneous opposite states.

A quantum bit, otherwise known as a qubit, is the basic unit of data in quantum computing. Like a binary bit in classical computers, as it can store information, but behaves very differently ...
