Advances in quantum emitters mark progress toward a quantum internet
From DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 23/08/23 New understanding of how light-emitting defects form and behave could lead to their use in a quantum internet and for sensing radiation. The prospect of a quantum internet, connecting quantum computers and capable of highly secure data transmission, is enticing, but making it poses a formidable challenge. Transporting quantum […]
Bigger and better quantum computers possible with new ion trap, dubbed the Enchilada
From DOE/Sandia National Laboratories 18/08/23 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sandia National Laboratories has produced its first lot of a new world-class ion trap, a central component for certain quantum computers. The new device, dubbed the Enchilada Trap, enables scientists to build more powerful machines to advance the experimental but potentially revolutionary field of quantum computing. In […]
