What’s Next for Time Crystals?

UC Berkeley physicist Norman Yao first described five years ago how to make a time crystal — a new form of matter whose patterns repeat in time instead of space. Unlike crystals of emerald or ruby, however, those time crystals existed for only a fraction of a second.

Withstanding Cold, Addressing the Quantum Bits Issue; QuTech and Intel May Have the Solution

Intel and QuTech Demonstrate Advances in Solving Quantum Interconnect Bottlenecks A cryogenic controller chip opens the door to solving the ‘wiring bottleneck’ and subsequently to realize a fully integrated, scalable quantum computer. A specially designed chip to control qubits can operate at extremely low temperatures, and opens the door to solving the ‘wiring bottleneck’. Researchers […]

TU Delft: Bob Now Physically Connects to Alice (and Charlie?) to Create Quantum Network

Dutch researchers establish the first entanglement-based quantum network A team of researchers from QuTech in the Netherlands reports realization of the first multi-node quantum network, connecting three quantum processors.
