Chinese scientists say they could be a step closer to developing a code-breaking machine, thanks to a recent breakthrough in quantum memory technology.A quantum computer can crack an encrypted message in hours, but it needs tens of millions of qubits – the quantum information carried by subatomic particles – to make the calculation.At present, the most powerful quantum computers run with less than 100 qubits, meaning they are limited to simple tasks with little practical value.However, a team…
