Quantum Computing

Christopher Savoie, founder and chief executive of Zapata, at his startup’s office in Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 11, 2018. Savoie said he had offered jobs to three foreign scientists who specialize in quantum computing. He’s still waiting for their visas to be approved. By some estimates, only 1,000 or so researchers can claim to understand the technology. Finding more could become a national security issue. (Tony Luong/The New York Times) XNYT82 XNYT82

Professor Robert Schoelkopf works on a dilution refrigerator, used to cool superconducting qubits to cryogenic temperatures, at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., Nov. 13, 2017. Schoelkopf is at the forefront of a worldwide effort to build the world’s first quantum computer, a machine that, if it can be built, would use the seemingly magical principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems today’s computers never could.
