Quantum Computer Components 'Coalesce' to 'Converse'


Synthetic Magnetism
A team of physicists working at NIST has shown for the first time how the many parts in a theoretical quantum computer might communicate effectively.

About


The Physics Frontier Center is devoted to leading-edge experimental and theoretical investigation of ways to control and process quantum coherence and entanglement: the physics of quantum information. It is funded through a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated within the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), a partnership between the University of Maryland (UMD) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with additional support from the Laboratory for Physical Sciences.
