Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some optimization and computational tasks.

The study’s findings, which are published in npj Quantum Information, are both surprising and promising, illustrating how a phenomenon typically seen as a challenge in quantum systems – decoherence – ...

Quantum dots are widely used for their ability to emit single photons at specific wavelengths. These photons are created by electronic transitions in quantum dots and are ideal for encoding and ...

Qubits "decohere" into a regular bit that represents a 0 or 1. Decoherence is the change in behavior defined in quantum mechanics to an explanation in classical mechanics. See quantum computing.
