Technology used in night-vision goggles aids quantum computing advance
There’s been an interesting development on the quantum computing front at Rice University in Houston, where physicists have developed what they say could be a way to create the tiny qubits needed to process data much faster than current computers that rely on digital transistors. They’ve built a specialized insulator with a commercial-grade semiconductor found in night-visiion goggles. The insulator could serve as an “electron superhighway” for qubits in such a way that these quantum bits would not be distorted by what’s called quantum fluctuations.
Network World recently ran an article titled “Is Quantum Computing Real?” that explores this overall topic much further.
