Research highlights, funding announcements, awards, and opportunities from the Center for Quantum Information and Control.
What if today's quantum computers are built on a quiet assumption that might be holding the entire field back? In the latest episode of The New Quantum Era podcast, renowned quantum theorist Ivan Deutsch raises a provocative question: by restricting ourselves to simple two-level qubits, are we holding the entire field back?
