...groundbreaking feat of computation, a team of international scientists—including Harvard researchers—have calculated the precise energy of a hydrogen molecule using a quantum computer...
While scientists have been able to determine the energy of hydrogen using paper and pencil since the 1930s, they now know they can use a quantum computer to perform this—and hopefully more complex calculations—with precision. Using classical computers, calculating the energies of larger molecules was virtually unimaginable because “the numbers get literally astronomical,” according to University of Queensland Physics Professor Andrew G. White, one of the authors of the study published in “Nature Chemistry?...
...creation of this laser marks a step forward from the quantum cascade laser, which was invented by Capasso and his collaborators at Bell Labs in 1994, Rutter wrote in a press release...
...observing atom behavior through the high-resolution microscope, hundreds of atoms in the lattice can be viewed. In the cold environment, the atoms behave according to quantum mechanics...
This is the first useful quantum information system to be developed. Theoretically, a super-computer could perform similar functions, but even a very large, complex computer would only be able to handle information of about 17 atoms...
