The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from ...

Typically, neutral atoms are used in general-purpose, gate-based quantum computers, which can perform calculations through a series of logical operations performed on the qubits.

In the search for the most scalable hardware to use for quantum computers, qubits made of individual atoms are having a breakout moment.

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

All the elements in the Periodic Table are made from different atoms, and the structure of these atoms results in a gamut of phenomena from radioactive decay to nuclear power.

All systems go: A beam of laser light in Jeff Thompson's lab at Princeton University, where he and his colleagues recently demonstrated a new way of erasing errors in a neutral-atom quantum computer. ...

One factor that makes working with neutral atoms harder, though, is that these atoms sometimes simply disappear. That’s on top of the regular noise issue that all quantum computers have to deal ...

To explain how atoms were overall neutral, he proposed the “plum pudding model” in 1904. He suggested that the atom consisted of negatively charged electrons randomly distributed in a positive ...

Sitting in an office at QuEra Computing’s Boston headquarters, Yuval Boger was talking about the recent advancements made in quantum computing that are driving the chorus around an accelerated the ...
