Quantum computing moves forward with new breakthrough
• dviceThere are limitations to quantum computing, though, including issues
with keeping a quantum state active at room temperature. (It’s only been
previously done for around two seconds.) Recently, though, a team of
international scientists smashed that record and created a quantum state that survived for a total of 39 minutes.
In
standard computing, information is stored in strings of 0’s and 1’s.
With a quantum state, qubits (quantum bits of information) can be both
0’s and 1’s at the same time. This means that multiple calculations can
be handled simultaneously.
