Essential Building Block for Next Gen QC: Basic Reading & Writing. A quantum gate between photons and atoms [photonic qubits and atomic qubits] has successfully transferred information from single photons to atoms. Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science has taken up the challenge of detecting the single photon’s weak energy and its detectability with ‘material qubits’. The ability to detect and transfer the photonic energy is key to transferring information (bits) between these differing types of qubits. In accomplishing this transfer of information, it is envisioned the method will enable scalable quantum computers and quantum computing networks.
