Qubits Communicating Through “Topological Radio Channels”
Qubits Communicating Through “Topological Radio Channels” Topological photonics offers route to qubit-to-qubit communication Excerpts and salient points ~ + A new toolbox for sophisticated quantum simulators, in which qubits can directly communicate through so-called “topological radio channels”, has been proposed by physicists in Germany and Spain. Researchers led by Alejandro González-Tudela at the Max Planck […]
9 Lives or 20 Qubits, It’s Schrodinger’s Cat
9 Lives or 20 Qubits, It’s Schrodinger’s Cat Schrödinger’s cat with 20 qubits In brief… + Dead or alive, left-spinning or right-spinning—in the quantum world particles such as the famous analogy of Schrödinger’s cat can be all these things at the same time. An international team, including researchers from several leading American universities, together with […]
