The Conversation: A New Quantum Computer Sets a High Watermark For Accuracy – Are We on The Verge of a Big Breakthrough?
The Conversation by Domenico VicinanzaAssociate Professor of Intelligent Systems and Data Science, Anglia Ruskin University In a laboratory in Broomfield, Colorado, 98 atoms are suspended in mid-air, held in place by electric fields and cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero. Each atom is far smaller than anything the naked eye could ever see, yet […]
