Manipulating Light May Hold the Key to Quantum Computing

It's one of technology's hottest (and most elusive) goals for the 21st century: quantum computing. You've probably heard talk of these powerful machines, which have the potential to completely transform our computing capabilities and upend modern data security. Although the foundations of this technology have already been laid down in research labs, we haven't yet been able to develop quantum computers that can overtake their classical counterparts. However, some recent research from a group at ...
