Researchers from the ̽��ֱ�� of Cambridge and Skoltech in Russia have shown that polaritons, the quirky particles that may end up running the quantum supercomputers of the future, can form structures that behave like molecules – and these ‘artificial molecules’ can potentially be engineered on demand. Their results are in the journal Physical Review B Letters.

New type of optical computing could solve highly complex problems that are out of reach for even the most powerful supercomputers.
