Physicists at the University of Cologne have taken an important step forward in the pursuit of topological quantum computing by demonstrating the first-ever observation of Crossed Andreev ...

Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid.

This innovative design leverages topological qubits ... Implications for the future of quantum computing Microsoft's introduction of Majorana 1 signifies a strategic leap toward practical quantum ...

A quantum computer qubit that is much more stable than current qubit designs, which are very error prone. Based on the theory of Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in ...

Topological quantum computing has had a dark shadow cast upon it by a series of retracted claims. Nevertheless, the concept holds great promise. The qubits that make up quantum computers are ...

Mathematician [Jean Michel Sellier] wanted to demonstrate this so he set up a Commodore 64 to study some concepts like simulating a quantum computer. The computer programs he’s written to do ...

These zones are central to a relatively new interdisciplinary field focused on producing fault-tolerant topological quantum computing, or TQC. Researchers from Boston College and Hong Kong University ...

"For practical applications the material is mainly of interest to those attempting to build a topological quantum computer," added Lombardi. We ourselves want to explore the new physics that lies ...

Are quantum computers ... of knot on the basis of topological properties, and show that the method could be faster than those that run on ordinary, or ‘classical’, computers.
