Physicists achieve quantum entanglement between pairs of individual molecules for the first time, propelling the field of quantum information science forward. Continue reading Physicists use laser beam tweezers to quantum entangle individual molecules for the first time
by Insa Mohrfigures by Hannah Zucker The past year has been momentous for quantum computing, a technology that applies the almost-mystical phenomena of quantum mechanics to build novel supercomputers, high performance computers used to solve large scale computational tasks. Google demonstrated that their quantum computers can solve a problem that no classical computer could ever solve. For the third year in a row, IBM managed … Continue reading Searching for the Holy Grail of Quantum Computing
IBM scientists use microscopy methods to create an “impossible” carbon molecule, triangulene. Triangulene is made of 6 carbon rings with two unpaired electrons roaming about. While triangulene has not been fully characterized at this point, the unpaired electrons have aligned spin, making this molecule a prime candidate for applications in quantum computing and other fields. Continue reading Researchers at IBM create triangulene, a magnetized molecule with unknown potential
