The odd effects of special relativity can be harnessed to build quantum computers Yuichiro Chino/Getty Images
Special relativity could be harnessed to build a novel quantum computer, and creating it this way could let us use machine learning to deepen our understanding of the quantum realm.
Albert Einsteinâs theory of special relativity describes how moving at close to the speed of light would affect travellersâ experience of space and time. These insights donât merely give us thought experiments; they are crucial for technologies such as satellite communication and GPS.
