Caltech physicists have created the largest qubit array ever assembled: 6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers. This milestone comes amid a rapidly growing race to scale up quantum computers. There are several approaches in development, including those based on superconducting circuits, trapped ions, and neutral atoms, as used in the new study. “This is an exciting moment for neutral-atom quantum computing,” says Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech. “We can now see a pa

The First Computer Powered by Human Cells - Imagine a computer that's not just programmed — but alive. Cortical Labs has just launched the CL1, the world's first computer powered by living human brain cells. Lab-grown neurons connected to a silicon chip are now capable of learning, adapting, and performing complex tasks, all while using a fraction of the energy traditional computers need. | The Brain Maze
