Stanford Scientists Create Room-Temperature Quantum Device for Future Communications

Quantum computers promise enormous leaps in computing power, but today’s machines come with a major drawback: they require extreme conditions to operate. Most quantum systems must be cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero (−273.15°C or −459°F)—a requirement that makes them bulky, expensive, and difficult to scale. Now, researchers at Stanford University say they may have found a way around that problem. In a study published in Nature Comm…
