Electron pairs power quantum plan Researchers from HP Laboratories and Qinetiq plc in England have mapped out a way to manipulate a pair of very cold electrons that could eventually lead to practical quantum computers made from quantum dots, or tiny specks of the type of semiconductor material used in electronics. mark for My Articles 270 similar articles

Aligned fields could speed storage Researchers from three institutes in Germany and Russia have found a material whose electric and magnetic domains line up together. The work could bring together the currently separate fields of magnetic and electronic data storage, which would give both methods more flexibility. mark for My Articles 194 similar articles

Design links quantum bits Realizing the potential of phenomenally fast quantum computers means having to link thousands of quantum bits, which are the transistors of such computers. So far researchers have been able to connect only a few. A scheme for linking many tiny superconducting loops may pull it all together. mark for My Articles 180 similar articles
