An invisible trap as wide as a coin holds 11,000 atoms, paving the way to room-sized quantum computers. Someday, such a chip will crack any code.
🎯 The metasurface, replacing bulky optics, is no bigger than a coin, yet it can create 11,000 laser traps at once.
🎬 Quantum computers are often depicted in science fiction as machines of incredible power — for example, in Hannu Rajaniemi's novel 'The Quantum Thief'.
