Supersized atoms could help quantum computers link to optical fibres

The device could enable quantum computers to transmit signals through optical fibres Shutterstock/Valentyn Volkov Supersized atoms can convert the output of quantum computers into light signals that can travel through optical fibres. This could be crucial for connecting quantum computers into a network. Multiple quantum computers networked together may be able to handle more complex […]
