Physicists Build the Largest Qubit Array for Solving Quantum Optimization Problems

An innovative technique for manipulating quantum bits of matter has been demonstrated by physicists from MIT and Harvard University. The technique, which involves using a system of well-tweaked lasers to initially trap and then tune the interactions among 51 individual atoms (i.e. quantum bits), has been described in a paper published in the Nature journal on November 29, 2017.
