From scaling to error correction, many problems still need to be solved before a working quantum computer can be built, but researchers continue to find the necessary solutions. Quantum computers can be used to solve complex problems that are impossible for the most conventional computer. But building a working quantum computer is, of course, not … Read more

In the world of quantum physics, amazing events happen at incredible speeds. Processes that are thought to happen instantaneously, such as quantum entanglement, are now measured directly in tiny fractions of a second – attoseconds. It is like spending a short time revealing subtle details hidden in plain sight. Together with a group … Read more
