CHICAGO (Reuters) – U.S. physicists have coaxed tiny artificial atoms into communicating in an advance that may lead to super-fast quantum computers, the researchers said on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
Quantum computers hold the promise of being enormously powerful, capable of solving in seconds problems that take today’s fastest machines years to crack. <\/p>\n
So far, physicists have worked mostly on developing the most basic of elements that can store information known as quantum bits, or qubits. <\/p>\n
But a series of papers in the journal Nature suggest researchers have found a way to get these qubits to communicate over a distance, for instance, across a computer chip. <\/p>\n
In the past, the best qubits could do was talk to neighboring qubits, much like the childhood game of telephone. <\/p>\n
But researchers from Yale University have found a way to move information stored in a stationary quantum bit via a microwave photon to another stationary quantum bit on the same chip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
