but constructing enough of them to perform a useful computation is difficult. In the usual approach to quantum computing, quantum gates are applied in a specific order, one gate before another.

Surprisingly, this effect can be used to reduce the total number of gates required for certain quantum computations.

"In fact, we were able to run a quantum algorithm to characterize the gates more efficiently than any previously known algorithm,

The scientists were able to accomplish a computation with an efficiency that cannot be achieved within the old scheme of quantum computing.

This work opens a door for future studies on novel types of quantum computation. Although its full implications are still unknown,

"This new technique is sort of a twist on a red-eye reducing camera flash, where the first flash causes the subject's pupils to close

and the second illuminates the scene.""In their setup, instead of xenon-powered flash the team used two LEDS.

when it flashes (you could say this LED gives the quantum dots red eye). At the same time, a second, different color LED flash illuminates metallic orientation marks placed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer the dots are embedded in.

Then a sensitive camera snaps a 100-micrometer by 100-micrometer picture. By cross-referencing the glowing dots with the orientation marks,

Then, using a complex computer algorithm, they determined the responses of all possible combinations of the segments.
