(PhysOrg.com) -- While researchers have already demonstrated the building blocks for few-bit quantum computers, scaling these systems up to large quantum computers remains a challenge. One of the biggest problems is developing physical systems that can reliably store thousands of qubits, and enabling bits and pairs to be addressed individually for gate operations. http://www.physorg.com/news171705608.html Physics Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:02:02 EST news171705608 Scientists at MIT have figured out a key step toward the design of quantum information networks. The results are reported in the July 20th issue of Physical Review Letters and highlighted in APS's on-line journal Physics. http://www.physorg.com/news167278799.html Physics Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:20:39 EST news167278799 (PhysOrg.com) -- Storing and sending information using quantum phenomena is one of the hottest areas of research today; scientists across the globe are investigating how to make quantum communication possible for real-life applications. In a key step, a group of researchers was recently able to greatly improve the lifetime of a form of quantum memory. http://www.physorg.com/news150115833.html Physics Fri, 02 Jan 2009 10:50:33 EST news150115833 (PhysOrg.com) -- Physicists have taken a step closer to realizing long-distance quantum communication, in which a quantum state is transferred from one location to another by becoming entangled with a traveling photon. http://www.physorg.com/news142609071.html Physics Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:37:51 EST news142609071
