Stanford quantum computing breakthrough uses twisted light to work without extreme cooling

4 days ago 19

Quantum computers today are notoriously difficult and expensive to operate. Most require temperatures near absolute zero, about -459 degrees Fahrenheit, to maintain the fragile quantum states needed for computation and communication.

Now, researchers at Stanford University have developed a nanoscale optical device that functions at room temperature while linking the quantum properties of light and electrons. The advance could help pave the way for smaller, low...
