Ultracold molecules hold promise for quantum computing This vacuum chamber with apertures for several laser beams was used to cool molecules of sodium-potassium down to temperatures of a few hundred nanoKelvins, or billionths of a degree above absolute zero. Such molecules could be used as a new kind of qubit, a building block for eventual quantum computers. |

New ways of representing information could transform digital technology Many people who use computers and other digital devices are aware that all the words and images displayed on their monitors boil down to a sequence of ones and zeros. But few likely appreciate what is behind those ones and zeros: microscopic arrays of “magnetic moments” (imagine tiny bar magnets with positive and negative poles). When aligned in parallel in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, these moments create patterns and streams of magnetic bits—the ones and zeros that are the lifeblood of all things digital. |

Statistical physics may speed up finding solutions for computational problems BOSTON) – The field of statistical mechanics was initially developed to study the behavior of macroscopic numbers of atoms or molecules in gasses and liquids, and evolved to describe the properties of complex states of matter that display magnetism, superconductivity and other types of exotic behavior. Techniques inspired by statistical mechanics have also been applied to understand traffic patterns, the behavior of networks of neurons and stock market fluctuations. Researchers at Boston University (BU) and the University of Central Florida have now discovered a new way of applying statistical mechanics to certain classes of highly complex problems in computer science. |

Five Ways Quantum Computing Will Change the Way We Think About Computing While technologies that currently run on classical computers, such as Watson, can help find patterns and insights buried in vast amounts of existing data, quantum computers will deliver solutions to important problems where patterns cannot be seen because the data doesn’t exist and the possibilities that you need to explore to get to the answer are too enormous to ever be processed by classical computers. |
