Ultracold molecules hold promise for quantum computing

Ultracold molecules hold promise for quantum computing 08/02/2017 02:30 PM EDT A study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers shows that collections of ultracold molecules can retain the information stored in them for hundreds of times longer than previously achieved in these materials. These clusters might thus serve as "qubits," the basic building blocks of quantum computers.
