Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University have made progress in quantum computing by using nanomagnets twice as small as the wavelength of light. The study, published in Nature Communications and led by engineering professor Jayasimha Atulasimha, could help bring quantum computing closer to practical, scalable implementation, potentially reducing energy usage and computing times in certain industries.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledQuantum computing, once only a theoretical possibility, promises to deliver faster, more energy-efficient computers – but only if scientists can build and scale the hardware needed to run the machines.
New research from Virginia Commonwealth University brings scientists one small step closer to quantum computing at a practical scale, which could help dramatically reduce energy usage and computing times in some industries.
