#A molecular approach to quantum computing

“#A molecular approach to quantum computing” In a new theoretical study, Caltech physicists have shown how molecules can, in theory, be used to reduce errors in quantum computing. This strategy would involve placing a rotating molecule in “superposition,” which means that it would exist in multiple orientations at once. In this illustration, three different molecular…
