Two Qubit Quantum Computer Built Inside a Diamond
April 7th, 2012Via: Science Daily:
Diamonds are forever — or, at least, the effects of this diamond on quantum computing may be. A team that includes scientists from USC has built a quantum computer in a diamond, the first of its kind to include protection against “decoherence” — noise that prevents the computer from functioning properly.
The demonstration shows the viability of solid-state quantum computers, which — unlike earlier gas- and liquid-state systems — may represent the future of quantum computing because they can be easily scaled up in size. Current quantum computers are typically very small and — though impressive — cannot yet compete with the speed of larger, traditional computers.
