Researchers find weird magic ingredient for quantum computing
Waterloo, Canada (SPX) Jun 16, 2014 - A form of quantum weirdness is a key ingredient for building quantum computers according to new research from a team at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC). In a new study published in the journal Nature, researchers have shown that a weird aspect of quantum theory called contextuality is a necessary resource to achieve the so-called magic required for universal qu ... more
