In the realm of quantum computing, a photon is not a bullet fired from point A to point B. It is a wave with a specific shape, and that shape dictates whether a second atom will successfully absorb it. Today, the transmission of quantum states between qubits via photons succeeds only 54% of the time. However, researchers at TU Wien have demonstrated through theoretical calculations that by…
