New Protocol Supports 'Noisy Network' Approach for Advancing Quantum Computers

Quantum physics promises faster computations but today's most advanced quantum computers operate with fewer than 20 quantum bits (qubits). To realise the technology's full potential will require much larger machines, and researchers are busy planning how to build them. A new protocol designed by researchers in Singapore and the UK lends support to a 'noisy network' approach. The work is published in Nature Communications.

Control of Quantum State Provides a Viable Path towards a Practical Quantum Computer

To maneuver a car into a parking spot parallel to the road can be quite a challenge. It would be an easy task, of course, if only the vehicle could move sideways.

Researchers Determine Time Needed for Quantum Information to Propagate across Bose-Einstein Condensates

Quantum computers promise to perform certain types of operations much more quickly than conventional digital computers. But many challenges must be addressed before these ultra-fast machines become available, among them, the loss of order in the systems – a problem known as quantum decoherence – which worsens as the number of bits in a quantum computer increases.

Novel Photonic Floquet Topological Insulator Developed at Technion

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed and successfully demonstrated a photonic Floquet topological insulator, a new device used to protect the transport of light through a unique, lattice of 'waveguides.' The advancement may play a key role in the photonics industry. A description is published in the current issue of NATURE (11 April 2013).
