A new technique helps scientists measure a phenomenon that can cause quantum circuits to perform differently than expected, increasing the error in computations.

The MIT Quantum Initiative is taking shape, leveraging quantum breakthroughs to drive the future of scientific and technological progress.

MIT researchers developed a photon-shuttling “interconnect” that can facilitate remote entanglement, a key step toward a practical quantum computer.

By determining how readily electron pairs flow through this material, scientists have taken a big step toward understanding its remarkable properties.

The advance holds the promise to reduce error-correction resource overhead.
