Crystals Curb Qubit Errors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 23, 2009 – A technique for efficiently suppressing errors in quantum computers has been realized by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). According to the researchers, this advance could eventually make it much easier to build useful versions quantum computers, which are potentially powerful but highly fragile machines that could theoretically solve important problems that are intractable using today's computers. Under certain conditions, trapped beryllium ions form a hexagonal single-plane crystal. This crystal consists of about 300 ions that are spaced about...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
