🚀 World’s Smallest Quantum Computer Runs on a Single Photon! 💡🔬

In a historic breakthrough, physicists at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan, have developed the world’s smallest quantum computer—powered by just one photon!

🔸 Led by Professor Chih-Sung Chuu, the team created Taiwan’s first optical quantum computer, capable of solving complex problems like prime factorization using a single high-dimensional photon in an optical fiber loop.
🔸 Room-temperature operation and desktop size make it remarkably compact—far removed from the massive, ultra-cooled quantum systems we’re used to.
🔸 They’ve successfully encoded 32 dimensions of data into one photon—comparing it to turning a one-seater bike into a 32-seater!

💥 This innovation solves the long-standing challenge of multi-photon synchronization, potentially redefining quantum hardware design.
From drug discovery and cybersecurity to artificial intelligence, the implications are massive.
