A new optical device measures photon indistinguishability—an important property for future light-based quantum computers.

Richard Borcherds is a British mathematician at Berkeley, who won the 1998 Fields Medal for the proof of the monstrous moonshine conjecture among many other contributions. A couple months ago, Borcherds posted on YouTube a self-described “rant” about quantum computing, which was recently making the rounds on Facebook and which I found highly entertaining. Borcherds points out that the term “quantum supremacy” means only that quantum computers can outperform existing classical computer...
