New Ion Cooling Technique Could Simplify Quantum Computing Devices

New Ion Cooling Technique Could Simplify Quantum Computing Devices

A new cooling technique that utilizes a single species of trapped ion for both computing and cooling could simplify the use of quantum charge-coupled devices (QCCDs), potentially moving quantum computing closer to practical applications. The research was reported February 5, 2024 in the journal Nature Communications. Using a technique called rapid ion exchange cooling, scientists at …

Custom software speeds up, stabilizes high-profile ocean model

BYLINE: Elizabeth Rosenthal Newswise — On the beach, ocean waves provide soothing white noise. But in scientific laboratories, they play a key role in weather forecasting and climate research. Along with the atmosphere, the ocean is typically one of the largest and most computationally demanding components of Earth system models like the Department of Energy’s Energy Exascale …
