Tiny new device could enable giant future quantum computers
University of Colorado at BoulderPeer-Reviewed Publication
Researchers have developed a device that can precisely control laser light using a fraction of the power and space required today. Because it can be manufactured just like modern microchips, this tiny device could unlock quantum computers capable of solving problems far beyond the reach of today’s technologies.
