41:05

On 15 August 1977 the Big Ear radio telescope in the US was scanning the skies in a search for signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Suddenly, it detected a strong, narrow bandwidth signal that lasted a little longer than one minute – as expected if Big Ear’s field of vision swept across a steady source of radio waves. That source, however, h…

Linking silicon T centres with light offers a route to fault-tolerant quantum computing 31:00

3M ago31:00

31:00

Today’s noisy quantum processors are prone to errors that can quickly knock a quantum calculation off course. As a result, quantum error correction schemes are used to make some nascent quantum computers more tolerant to such faults. This involves using a large number of qubits – called “physical” qubits – to create one fault-tolerant “logical” qub…
