Taking full advantage of quantum mechanics would allow future computers to solve problems that would take longer than the lifetime of the universe on a normal computer. This potential motivates the field of ‘quantum computing’, where scientists and engineers are searching for the platform which silicon provides for the microelectronics and conventional computing of today. A UK-USA team of scientists ... Read More »
