  Dresden, Germany (SPX) Feb 26, 2019 In recent years, electronic data processing has been evolving in one direction only: The industry has downsized its components to the nanometer range. But this process is now reaching its physical limits. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are therefore exploring spin waves or so-called magnons - a promising alternative for transporting information in more compact microchips. Cooperating with international partners, they have successfully generated and controlled extrem ... read more |

 Zurich, Switzerland (SPX) Feb 28, 2019 
When building a quantum computer, one needs to reckon with errors - in both senses of the word. Quantum bits or "qubits", which can take on the logical values 0 and 1 at the same time and thus carry out calculations faster, are extremely susceptible to perturbations.
A possible remedy for this is quantum error correction, which means that each qubit is represented "redundantly" in several ... more |
