In photos: a rare glimpse inside the heart of a quantum computer

For decades, the promise of quantum computing has tickled the neurons of drug-makers, spies, and tech CEOs. Such a machine, if perfected, would speed up drug discoveries, decode ciphers, and help AIs parse our digital data. This new brain hinges on the bendy concept of superposition, the idea that an object can be in two states at once—a coin spinning so fast, it’s both heads and tails. Read full article…
