"Magnetic Qubits Enable Selective Communication in Novel Quantum Computer Design"

Researchers have demonstrated a novel quantum computer design in which qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers, can communicate with each other through magnets instead of through the air. This technology allows for selective interaction between qubits and enables them to be situated farther apart than is typical, potentially unlocking complex capabilities for quantum computing. The use of magnets to entangle qubits could provide a scalable and robust quantum technology using conventional materials, with potential applications for other solid-state qubit systems.
