A team from the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, including Applied Math professor Joseph Emerson and former graduate student Victor Veitch, has made an important breakthrough in the area of quantum computing. In a , the authors show that a strange property of quantum theory known as contextuality is a necessary ingredient for building a quantum computer. More information on this study can be found in a University news article.
