There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Quantum computing, with its promise of super-fast data processing, has the potential to rewrite the rules of computing. But all quantum calculations happen at the sub-atomic level and are extremely complex, which raises the possibility of errors. A team of Georgia Tech researchers, including Kenneth Brown, an associate professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, has demonstrated an error-detection program for quantum computers. Brown and fellow chemistry professor David Sherrill are part of Tech's efforts in recent years to expand its quantum computing research.
