Revolutionary Quantum Computing Achieved with Lasers and Displays

Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand have developed a quantum computer using ordinary components like laser beams and digital displays, making quantum technology more affordable and accessible. This innovation leverages classically structured light to perform complex tasks, outperforming classical computers. The study, published in APL Photonics, demonstrates the potential for widespread access to quantum computing, especially in regions unable to afford traditional, expensive systems.
