Correction to what I say at 10:36 -- The ions are of course positively charged. Sorry about that! What if we could harness the power of photons to process information? We can! It's called photonic computing. It's one of the new approaches to quantum computing - and it's looking more and more likely that it could be the key to make quantum computers work. It's not the only newcomer. In this video, we'll take a look at photonic computing and two other newcomers: optical tweezers and topological quantum computing. Maybe the breakthrough for quantum tech is just around the corner. Make your new knowledge stick!
