Going Beyond Qubits: New Study Demonstrates Key Components for a Qutrit-Based Quantum Computer A team led by physicists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley has successfully observed the scrambling of quantum information, which is thought to underlie the behavior of black holes, using qutrits: information-storing quantum units that can represent three separate states at the same time. Their ef...
