The scientists said they had discovered a new way to make a quantum bit using the crystals.
“This relationship is special in that it allows actions on one particle to have an effect on another.
“So, people are building prototypes using various material ‘platforms.'”

Some of the most advanced prototypes use trapped ions, including those built by companies like ionQ and Quantinuum.
Future applications for quantum computing are limitless, boosters say.
“No one correctly predicted the answer then, and no one can do so now.
