NTT and OptQC aim to build a 1-million qubit quantum computer based on light, rather than electricity, to enhance reliability, scalability and practicality. Use cases for a practical optical quantum ...

We always hear that future computers will use optical technology. But what will that look like for a general-purpose computer? German researchers explain it in a recent scientific paper. Although the ...

Optical drives are made to play discs like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. MileA/Getty Images Optical drives let your computer read and interact with discs like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. While nearly every ...

Fifth-year applied physics Ph.D. candidate Ben Bartlett, postdoctoral scholar Avik Dutt and electrical engineering professor Shanhui Fan proposed a new computer hardware design in November that could, ...

Excuse me a moment—I am going to be bombastic, over excited, and possibly annoying. The race is run, and we have a winner in the future of quantum computing. IBM, Google, and everyone else can turn in ...
