Bright Future For Photonic Quantum Computers
Vienna, Austria (SPX) May 16, 2013
Harnessing the unique features of the quantum world promises a dramatic speed-up in information processing as compared to the fastest classical machines. Scientists from the Group of Philip Walther from the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna succeeded in prototyping a new and highly resource efficient model of a quantum computer - the boson sampling computer. Quantum computers work by manipulating quantum objects as, for example, individual photons, electrons or atoms and by harnessing ... read more
