Charting the course for the future of quantum computing
The IBM Quantum team envisions a future where devices harnessing the intricacies of atomic behavior unleash the full potential of computation unreachable due to the limits of classical computing hardware. These devices could one day transform industries from healthcare to finance to defense. We think we know the path toward that future — but it’s going to take far more than the efforts of a single company or research institution to walk that path. Read More

‘Quantum optical antennas’ provide more powerful measurements on the atomic level
From the University of Chicago: Researchers have never been able to tap the potentially huge intensity enhancements of some “atomic antennas” in solid materials simply because they were solids. Now, a multi-institutional team led by the University of Chicago's Alex High has cracked this problem. Read More
