"Atom-Based Qubits: The Key to Quantum Computing Success"

Researchers are exploring the potential of neutral-atom qubits for quantum computing, with recent advancements showing promise in terms of scalability and coherence times. Unlike ions, neutral atoms do not repel each other, making them more scalable and easier to entangle in a two-dimensional grid. Additionally, by boosting the size of atoms into Rydberg states, the interaction distance between atoms can be dramatically increased, potentially enabling significant progress in quantum computing.
