Laser Pulse Study Could Lead to Super-Fast Lightwave Computers
New research into ultrashort light pulses could lead to computers that run 100,000 times faster than current hardware. A team from the University of Michigan may have achieved that goal with a study into laser pulses that last for intervals of only a quadrillionth of a second. The technique can…

Diamonds Could Help Unlock Quantum Computing
The stumbling block when it comes to quantum computing – which aims to use the quantum-mechanical phenomena of entanglement and superposition in order to perform superfast computational operations without electronic transistors – is maintaining superposition (i.e. more than one physical state, simultaneously; think Schrödinger’s cat), but a team of researchers…

This Quantum Computer Uses Just Five Atoms
Supercomputers are relatively good at figuring out the factors of very large numbers, but in order to discover all the possible multipliers, such a machine could require months if not years. However, there are some ways to speed up this process significantly, with the most obvious solution being quantum computers,…

NASA and Google Reveal Working Quantum Computer
Two years ago, NASA and Google decided to get together and invest in a D-Wave 2X quantum computer as part of an experiment to gauge the performance increase of solving a “quantum annealing” problem on a quantum computer over a conventional computer. It only comes today, however, that Google were…

Scientists Found A New Way To Use Photons As Memory
Scientists at Yale University have made another discovery which brings us closer to quantum computing. They’ve found a new to use microwave signals something as equivalent of a memory kit in your computer. Quantum computers work similarly to a regular computer which has the ability to store, transmit and process…
