And he says that, even as president and founder of a data mining consulting firm he calls Two Crows, he uses his physics education regularly. ... <<Full text>> |
Professor J. Robert Anderson This
month:
... Since our previous article, "Quantum Computing with rf SQUIDs", which appeared about four years ago in The Photon, we have made changes in our primary approach to the use of superconducting elements as qubits. Now we are focusing on single Josephson junctions as qubits, an idea that was suggested by members of our research group. .... |
