- Bang! Bang! Let's kick these qubits!
- Is this a sports story or a scientific step closer towards quantum supercomputers? You'll be the judge. But researchers from Oxford University have found a way to maintain a quantum bit qubit in a stable state by locking it up inside a buckyball. Then they kicked it repeatedly "with a...

- Quantum cryptography using qutrits
- Quantum cryptography QC is still in a very early stage and there are very few commercial products available. But this doesn't prevent researchers to look at new solutions. For example, physicists from the University of Wien, Austria, are testing qutrits instead of the more common qubits. These qutrits can simultaneously...
