Could we soon all have quantum computers on our desks? Scientists claim to have cracked the problem of how they store data

The prospect of super-fast desktop quantum computers may be a step closer after scientists created a molecule that can function as a stable qubit.

Qubits are the quantum computing equivalent of bits used in traditional computers, but they currently are only capable of holding information for tiny fractions of a second.

Researchers have shown that a molecular complex of vanadium, carbon and sulphur may provide a solution to this problem.
