Ultimately, the discovery could pave the way for a quantum data bus and bring quantum computing closer to reality, they said.

"Similar to a data bus in a conventional computer, scientists can use this technique to connect the components of a quantum computer," explains Poulsen Nautrup.

Transporting information from one place to another is a key part of any computing platform, and now researchers have figured out a way to make it possible in the quantum world.

Transport for London (TfL) has finally released live bus data, several months after it delivered the information via its Countdown Live Bus Arrivals website. Launched in October 2011, Countdown ...

Transporting information from one place to another is a key part of any computing platform, and now researchers have figured out a way to make it possible in the quantum world.

While today's microprocessors use data buses that route single bits of information, transferring quantum information is a far greater challenge due to the intrinsic fragility of quantum states.

Researchers have trialled a quantum processor capable of routing quantum information from different locations in a critical breakthrough for quantum computing.
