Quantum Computing Has Applications in Magnetic ImagingPittsburgh, PA (SPX) Dec 20, 2011 Quantum computing-considered the powerhouse of computational tasks-may have applications in areas outside of pure electronics, according to a University of Pittsburgh researcher and his collaborators. Working at the interface of quantum measurement and nanotechnology, Gurudev Dutt, assistant professor in Pitt's Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, and his colleagues report their findings in a paper published online Dec. 18 in Nature Nanotechnology. ... read more |
