2. Superconducting qubit systems come of age.

Author

Levi, Barbara Goss

Subjects
*QUANTUM computers, *SUPERCONDUCTORS
Abstract

The article provides information on quantum bit or qubit, the basic building block of a quantum computer. It states that an oscillating field mediates the interactions between qubits. It cites the demands of a quantum computer including long-live qubits and precise control over the qubits. The advantages of superconducting (sc) qubits are also discussed. Moreover, it notes experiments using sc qubits conducted at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Yale University.

Author

Knapp, Alex

Subjects
SILICON carbide, QUANTUM computers, ION traps
Abstract

This article reports on the possible utilization of silicon carbide crystal imperfections in quantum computing. University of California at Santa Barbara researchers have discovered how to use electron trapping in quantum computing by taking advantage of the inherently detrimental qualities of trapped electrons in silicon flaws. The discovery can reportedly prove vital in addressing the issue of room temperature coherence in quantum computing.

Abstract

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Researchers at I.B.M. have stored and retrieved digital 1s and 0s from an array of just 12 atoms, pushing the boundaries of the magnetic storage of information to the edge of what is possible. The findings, being reported Thursday in the journal Science, could help lead to a new class of nanomaterials for a generation of memory chips and disk drives that will not only have greater capabilities than the current silicon-based computers but will consume significantly less power. And they may offer a new direction for research in quantum computing. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
