One of the ways we can fully realize the potential of quantum computers is by basing them on both light and matter – this way, information can be stored and processed, but also travel at the speed of light.
, a material that allows electrons to flow without resistance – and previous research had shown that it contained giant Rydberg excitons.
Once fully capable quantum computers can be put together – perhaps using these Rydberg polaritons – the exponential improvements in computing power will enable them to tackle hugely complex calculations beyond the scope of the computers we have today.
