Best of Both Worlds: 'Hybrid' Quantum Computers Could Be Just Around The Corner, Researchers Say

For all their promise, quantum computers have a hard time modeling the interactions between the two families of building blocks that underlie our Universe – can you imagine a chef that struggles to describe how sugar and milk make cake? But researchers may have found a way to overcome this challenge by modeling a theoretical 'hybrid' quantum computer that promises to combine the best of both worlds.
