A quantum network link that runs at the speed of a quantum computer
Future quantum computers will probably be built from many smaller modules that have to talk to each other.
A classical algorithm moves the goalposts for "quantum advantage" in optimisation
Imagine splitting a network into two teams so that as many connections as possible run between the teams.
Spin qubits that leapfrog over each other
In silicon quantum chips, each qubit is a single electron, and electrons are moved along the chip like cars on a lane.
Reading out a quantum process directly, with help from an effective "time loop"
To find out what a quantum device does, physicists usually run many measurements and then put the answer together like a puzzle.
When heating a superconductor makes it stronger
Superconductors carry electricity without any loss, and heat normally destroys this.
