"We are laying critical groundwork to enable quantum computers with more than 100,000 qubits," Will said. In a paper published in Nature, Will, Yu, and their colleagues combine two powerful ...

“We show that atomic motion, which is typically treated as a source of unwanted noise in quantum systems, can be turned into a strength,” said Adam Shaw, lead author of a paper that has overturned a ...

For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art quantum computers have around 1,000 qubits. Columbia physicists Sebastian ...
