Disciplines are becoming more specialised at a time when global challenges have become more complex. Solving them may require the non-linear calculations that only quantum computing can provide, says Professor Peter Cochrane
Articles and presentations on quantum computing are often completely wrong, warns Professor Peter Cochrane
Professor Jigang Wang at Iowa State University also researching macroscopic supercurrent flowing states to create quantum controls
Total spending on quantum technology by the government surpasses £1bn
Device developed by MIT researchers can produce photons able to carry quantum information at room temperature
The initial prototype can represent up to 16 simultaneous futures
Quantum computers are neither stable enough nor powerful enough to achieve very much at all at the moment, warns Professor Peter Cochrane - but could one day provide a cure for cancer
Scientists believe there could be other hydrides or superhydrides with super conducting properties
2018 saw big leaps forward for quantum computing, machine learning and even nuclear fusion - as well as some more bizarre science-related stories
Researchers implemented this theory using microwave technology, which is commonly used in mobile phones
