The Incredible Power of Quantum Memory


Researchers are exploring new ways that quantum computers will be able to reveal the secrets of complex quantum systems.

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, a cornerstone of quantum theory, says it’s impossible to simultaneously measure a particle’s exact position and its speed—pretty important information for understanding what’s going on. The day after this work appeared on the scientific preprint site arxiv.org, a group based at Google Quantum AI in Venice, California, posted another paper that arrived at a similar conclusion. “We’re edging closer to things people would really want to measure in these physical systems,” said Jarrod McClean, a computer scientist at Google Quantum AI.
