"Breakthrough Achievement: Optical-Lattice Quantum Computer Reaches Major Physics Milestone"

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have achieved a milestone in optical-lattice-based quantum processing by successfully entangling groups of eight and ten ultracold atoms. This breakthrough demonstrates the scalability and reliability of using ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice for quantum computations. The team also demonstrated control and imaging of the states of the atoms with single-atom resolution, a crucial requirement for quantum computers.
