Main Facts In a landmark achievement for the field of quantum information science, researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have successfully demonstrated a fully autonomous method for connecting widely separated quantum bits (qubits) using a "quantum bath" composed of correlated particles of light. Published recently in Physical Review X, the experiment […]
A Paradigm Shift in Quantum Networking: ISTA Physicists Realize a 20-Year-Old Theoretical Prediction Using a "Quantum Bath"
KLOSTERNEUBURG, AUSTRIA — In the high-stakes global race to build scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers, one of the most stubborn engineering bottlenecks has been the physical isolation of quantum bits, or qubits. Future supercomputers will likely not exist as monolithic, single-chip processors; instead, they will rely on distributed networks of smaller, specialized processing modules seamlessly communicating […]
