We’re now one step closer to a “quantum internet” — an interconnected web of quantum computers — after scientists built a network of “quantum memories” at room temperature for the first time.
In their experiments, the scientists stored and retrieved two photonic qubits — qubits made from photons (or light particles) — at the quantum level, according to their paper published on Jan. 15 in the Nature journal, Quantum Information.
The breakthrough is significant because quantum memory is a foundational technology that will be a precursor to a quantum internet – the next generation of the World Wide Web.
“'Quantum memory breakthrough' may lead to a quantum internet”
A group of us will be testing this soon.
The big shifts I. Quantum computing will come out of the garages of open source pioneers.
