Caltech physicists report they have created the largest qubit array assembled to-date: 6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers. Previous arrays of this kind contained only hundreds of ...

In a Caltech lab, a computer screen showed thousands of tiny points of light—each one a single atom, held in place by laser beams. This striking image revealed 6,100 stable quantum bits, or qubits. It ...

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition ...

To make some quantum computers larger, and therefore more powerful, we may have to 3D-print them. Currently, there is no consensus on the single best design for quantum computers, but researchers ...

We've all been there: You're using a quantum computer to identify massive prime numbers, and the neutral atom it's manipulating slips out of the optical tweezers in mid-calculation and vanishes. There ...

A team of Harvard physicists built the first-ever quantum computing machine that can operate continuously without restarting, achieving a major breakthrough in a field that could revolutionize ...

To make some quantum computers larger, and therefore more powerful, we may have to 3D-print them. The purpose of an ion trap is right in its name: it confines ions in place and helps control their ...
