Vibrating Atoms Make Robust Qubits, Physicists Find

by Massachusetts Institute of Technology | innovation

MIT researchers have found a way to store quantum information in the vibrational motion of atom pairs, similar to the swinging motion of two pendula, connected by a spring. The quantum register contains hundreds of pairs of vibrating qubits that researchers can coherently control for over ten seconds. If this works out, it will have a huge impact on quantum computing!
