RÉCIT - Une équipe californienne annonce avoir réussi une prouesse technique qui pourrait grandement accélérer la fabrication d’un ordinateur quantique.

The company said it created a “new state of matter” that represents a major advance for quantum computing. But physicists who have reviewed the work say they aren’t convinced of the finding.
