Physicists turn classical light into a quantum machine for information processing

Quantum computers promise to tackle problems that are extraordinarily difficult for today's computers.

The short version

• But there is a major obstacle: quantum systems are notoriously fragile.
• Noise, loss and even tiny disturbances can destroy the delicate behavior that gives them their power.
• Building systems with many quantum particles is also extremely challenging.
