Scientists believe it will be especially useful for problems that involve many variables, such as analyzing financial risk, encrypting data, and studying the properties of materials. Researchers doubt that individuals will own personal quantum computers in the near future. Instead, they will be hosted at academic institutions and private companies where they will be accessible …
image: At Alice (Bob), the simplified transmitter contains a laser source and an encoder. The encoder modulates the phase of the optical pulses. The encoder modulation information must be monitored to characterize the deviation between ideal and realistic pulses. If Suspect Charlie is honest, he measures the received signals using an interference meter. see After …
Molybdenum ditelluride material (blue and yellow lattice) only atoms thick connects telecom wavelength quantum emitters to optical fibers with minimal loss. The devices generate single photons (red) when triggered by optical signals (green).

Artistic representation of Majorana edge modes on a string of superconducting qubits. Credit: Google Quantum AI Google Quantum AI physicists have used their quantum computer to study an efficient type of particle that is more resilient to environmental disturbances that can degrade quantum computations. These effective particles, known as Majorana edge modes, form as a …
