The work builds into cells the same logic gates found in electronic computers ... according to Mary Anne Koda-Kimble, dean of the UCSF School of Pharmacy. "This field will be transformative ...

Together with qubits (the quantum version of the 0/1 bit), logic gates are the basic components to construct, as in a building block game, a quantum computer. They need to be fast not only to ...

In these systems, tiny individual particles can be reliably trapped to serve as qubits and form quantum logic gates. The Harvard team's paper details the far more complicated process involved with ...
