Researchers make leap in quantum computing

Researchers make leap in quantum computing

Trapping molecules for use in systems may help make ultra-high-speed experimental technology even faster Molecules haven’t been used in quantum computing, even though they have the potential to make the ultra-high-speed experimental technology even faster. Their rich internal structures were seen as too complicated, too delicate, too unpredictable to manage, so smaller particles have been…
