New Molecular Qubits for Quantum Internet

Scientists at the University of Chicago and their collaborators have developed a new kind of molecular qubit that could connect directly with today’s fiber-optic networks—a key step toward creating a “quantum internet.”

The breakthrough, published in Science, offers a way to make quantum technologies more practical, scalable, and compatible with existing telecommunications systems.

Qubits, or quantum bits, are the basic units of quantum technology.
