Engineering Tomorrow’s Quantum Computers

A single ion can simulate molecules interacting with light, which could provide quantum computers with useful calculations much earlier than thought.

Engineering Tomorrow’s Quantum Computers

Researchers have touted the revolutionary potential of quantum computers to take on otherwise intractable challenges, like modeling complex molecular behavior for drug discovery or factoring enormous numbers in use for cryptography schemes. But how such a computer would be created remains unclear. With help from Johns Hopkins APL, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is attempting to define, in practical terms, what a useful quantum com…
