New approach could enable faster and more practical optical quantum computers. For the first time, researchers have successfully generated strongly nonclassical light using a modular waveguide-based light source. “Our goal is to dramatically improve information processing by developing faster quantum computers that can perform any type of computation without errors,” said research team member Kan Takase from the University of Tokyo...
