U.S. creates first ever coupled quantum dots

The video discusses the potential of qubits to revolutionize computing, highlighting a study where scientists created a pair of coupled quantum dots. It contrasts classical and quantum computing, explaining how qubits can handle multiple values simultaneously, enabling complex tasks. The creation process involved using a scanning tunneling microscope on graphene and boron nitride, leading to a coupled system. However, the researchers cannot fully explain their success with current quantum theory.
