Quantum breakthrough massively speeds up the speed of the 'building blocks' of computers of the future

Read our privacy policy Researchers have broken speed records for the building blocks of quantum computing, getting them ready to actually build the computers that could revolutionise the world. Quantum computers could come to dwarf the processing power of today's conventional computers, by harnessing the strange effects of quantum physics. The new research drastically improves those building blocks: making the "logic gates" that will be used in those computers faster than they've ever been before. "Quantum computing will be ideally suited for tasks such as factorising large numbers or simulating complex reactions between molecules to help with drug development," said Vera Schäfer, an Oxford doctoral student who worked on the research.
