The quantum behavior of superconducting circuits like the small white square above was a major discovery.K. Cicak and R. Simmonds/NIST Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of microscopic particles. Using quantum systems to perform computation promises to allow researchers to solve problems in areas from chemistry to cryptography that...
