Researchers closer to mastering the 'spookiness' of quantum mechanics

Oxford theorists and their Cambridge collaborator have moved a step closer to creating a machine that would fully harness the deepest laws of physics, quantum mechanics. The machine, called a quantum computer, would have a range of potential uses – including code breaking. It could exactly simulate the behaviour of matter at the atomic scale, providing new insights to chemists and biologists.
