SCIENTISTS DEMONSTRATE QUANTUM STATE EXCHANGE BETWEEN LIGHT AND MATTER, May 22
Quantum computers offer the promise of processing information much more efficiently than classical computers. But before quantum computers can be built, scientists must confront several challenges, one of which is quantum computers' vulnerability to their surroundings. Interaction with outside forces would immediately damage a quantum computer's information; this problem is known as "decoherence."
