Technology‘Nightmare’ calculation may be too tricky for even quantum computers Quantum computers hold great potential for solving many problems more quickly or efficiently than conventional computers, but researchers are starting to identify where they could falter 51¶¯Âþ
PhysicsMaking atoms self-magnify reveals their quantum wave functions Trapping ultracold atoms with laser light let researchers magnify and then image the wave functions of atoms that were previously too close together to look like anything but a blob 51¶¯Âþ
