Researchers have devised a way to make computer vision systems more efficient by building networks out of computer chips’ logic gates. Networks programmed directly into computer chip hardware can ...

Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate—a NAND gate (short for "NOT AND")—in a soft material using only beams of ...

Why it matters: For decades, scientists have dreamed of building computer chips that use light instead of electricity to process information. While our current silicon chips are incredibly fast, ...

The processor in a quantum computer. The quantum chip contains the qubits as well as the quantum logic gates that manipulate the qubits. This differs dramatically from a classical computer where the ...

Lead author and PhD student Vassili Matsos looking at the Paul trap quantum computing device in the Quantum Control Laboratory at the University of Sydney. To build a large-scale quantum computer that ...

To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that quantum bits, or qubits, create as they operate. Subscribe to our newsletter ...
