Science & Research

Quantum computers get a speed boost from a new device made by Bristol University researchers | Researchers from Bristol University and Université Côte d‘Azur have created a new device that could improve the speed of quantum computers by ten times. The new device is a miniaturised light detector made from two silicon chips and measures the properties of ‘squeezed’ light at record speeds, significantly faster than the previous state of the art. Next-generation technologies like quantum computers could use light as the carrier of information and have the potential for computing power that far exceeds regular computers.  Source: epigram. Edward Deacon  Quantum computers get a speed boost from a new device made by Bristol University researchers…
