Scientists Harness Quantum Physics to Build a Programmable Computer Scientists engineered a high-tech computer that can run several simple programs by harnessing the relationships between tiny particles, or quantum mechanics, according to a new report Wednesday. The work represents a leap in the field of so-called quantum computers, which store information differently than traditional machines, computing experts said. Classical computers use binary bits of information, whose values alternate between 0 and 1, to store data. Quantum computers use smaller units--“qubits”--which can simultaneously be 0 and 1. That duality underpins their rapidity and potential supremacy over conventional devices like laptops and servers. The new device combines magnets, lasers and five individual ions, or charged atoms, trapped in single file. Each atom represents singular qubits. The team of researchers, at the University of Maryland in College Park, used the mechanism to run three different basic algorithms, including a primitive version of the algorithm that underlies encryption technology. wsj.com
