Scientists have built the smallest quantum computer in the world. It is the size of a desktop PC and can work at room temperature.

Photons have long been proposed as an alternative to superconducting qubits, in a field known as"optical quantum computing." In February, scientists suggested that building qubits from a single laser pulse could let them make a stable quantum computer at room temperature, for example.In the new study, the scientists built a machine that can process calculations at room temperature. And because it doesn't need to be chilled, it is the size of a typical desktop PC.
