The hotter they get, the more they move; therefore, to “stop” them, we’d just need to take away all their heat energy to achieve absolute zero, or 0 Kelvin — right?

In some ways, we may only be starting to scratch the surface of quantum computers' potential. Up until quite recently, there were a lot of hypotheticals; it now appears we're on the cusp of using ...
