Artist’s impression of the entangled logic gate built by University of Sydney quantum scientists. Credit: Emma Hyde/University of Sydney Physicists at the University of Sydney have achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing by creating a universal logic gate inside a single atom. Using a powerful error-correcting system known as the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code — often called the “Rosetta Stone” of …
