Way for Quantum Computers

Quantum computers have been the most better imaginable computers in the speeds it can operate.As it uses light as the energy for transferring information the speeds are tremendously high.But there was no predominant way to control the way the bits operated for the processing to take place in a quantum computer till the physicists have come up with a new path.

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology had overcome a hurdle in quantum computer development,for formulating a viable way in which the single bits can be manipulated in the quantum processor while not disturbing the information stored in the neighbors.The use of polarised light to create magnetic fields finds a promising way for the quantum computers to operate without any problem.



The optical lattices uses the lasers to separate Rubidium atoms for use as information bits in the neutral atom quantum processors.These quantum processors are the devices which the researchers are developing into full fledged quantum computers. NIST were able to isolate and control pairs of the Rubidium atoms with polarized light , a highway which would make the concept of quantum computers come into reality.
