A super-large atom can convert the output of a quantum computer into a light signal that travels through an optical fiber. This could be important for connecting quantum computers to networks.
A network of quantum computers could potentially handle more complex computations than a single computer. However, while traditional computer networks use optical fibers for fast and accurate connections, many quantum computers output their results as signals that cannot be transmitted through fibers.As a result, quantum computers have been linked to
