Reaching absolute zero for quantum computing now much faster thanks to groundbreaking refrigerator design

quantum computer

A groundbreaking cooling technology could boost quantum computing and cut precious preparation time for important science experiments by weeks. Scientists often need to generate temperatures that are close absolute zero for quantum computers and astronomy, among others. Such temperatures are known as the ‘Big Chill’ and keep the most sensitive electrical instruments free from interference … Read more

Scientists prove ‘quantum theory’ that could lead to ultra-fast magnetic computing

A futuristic image of a computer chip

For the first time, scientists have magnetized a non-magnetic material at room temperature, creating a quantum property that they say could pave the way for ultra-fast computing. The ‘switchable’ magnetic field could one day be used to store and transmit information. This was something that was previously only possible at ultra-cold temperatures. The results pave … Read more
