They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of thousands more. Quantum computers will only surpass classical machines if they can operate with far more quantum bits, known as qubits. Today’s most advanced systems contain roughly 1,000 qubits, but Columbia University physicists Sebastian Will and [...]from SciTechDaily https://ift.tt/0HLA619
