Although these developments are still constrained to the lab, they’re yet another sign that a quantum leap in computing may be just around the corner.Chip for Quantum Computing The two black squares are the qubits, or processor; the center meandering line is the quantum bus; and the lateral meandering lines are the quantum memory.
