Superconducting quantum processor (IMAGE) Massachusetts Institute of Technology Caption MIT researchers developed a superconducting quantum processor comprised of 16 qubits which they can use to generate a synthetic electromagnetic field, enabling them to explore the properties of materials. Pictured is an artist's interpretation of the quantum processor. Credit Eli Krantz, Krantz NanoArt Usage Restrictions Credit must be given to the creator.
