  • Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Qubits for a Programmable, Solid-State Superconducting Processor

    Long-Lived Coherent Quantum States in a Superconducting Device for Quantum Information Technology Scientists have been able to demonstrate for the first time that large numbers of quantum bits, or qubits, can be tuned to interact with each other while maintaining coherence for an unprecedentedly long time, in a programmable, solid-state superconducting processor. This breakthrough was

  • The coherent simulation of a quantum phase transition in a programmable 2,000 qubit Ising chain

    Quantum computers have the potential to outperform classical computers on several complex tasks, yet many challenges will need to be overcome before they reach their full potential. In the meantime, physicists and computer scientists have been trying to realistically estimate the capabilities that quantum computing technologies will exhibit in the near future. Quantum simulations—realizations of

  • Brain Computer Interaction (BCI): A Way to Interact with Brain Waves

    Can you login to a computer without coming into physical contact with it, i.e., with your mind? With this process, a new biometric feature can be developed for authenticating a computer user in real-time, which involves brain waves. Or, can you control the security of a computer by changing the password with your thoughts? Sounds
