Breakthrough for Quantum Measurement

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the states-from-your-stateless-news dept.

said_captain_said_wo writes to tell us that PhysicsWeb is reporting that two teams of physicists have developed a new method for measuring the state of quantum bits in a quantum computer without disturbing the state. From the article: "In the future, the Josephson capacitance could be used for operations in a large-scale quantum computer," says Mika Sillanpaa of Helsinki University. "The Josephson inductance and Josephson capacitance together would also allow us to build new types of quantum 'band engineered' electronic devices, such as low-noise parametric amplifiers."

    If you run a benchmark on a quantum computer is there a chance it'll vanish?

    Most useful comment so far in this thread. A pox on article titles that don't make sense without violating the laws of quantum mechanics!
