Quantum computing breakthrough in atom control found

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics

A team of scientists in Australia claim to have stumbled on a breakthrough discovery that will have “major implications” for the future of quantum computing.

Describing the find as a “happy accident,” engineers at the University of New South Wales Sydney found a way to control the nucleus of an atom using electric fields rather than magnetic fields—which they have claimed could now open up a “treasure trove of discoveries and applications.”
