News Summary

• Tiny quantum computers could lead to supersized telescopes Advances in quantum technology might allow astronomers to circumvent age-old issues that limit the size of optical observatories.
• In the future, quantum technology could allow arrays of optical telescopes to work in unison, effectively acting as a single giant observatory.
• If successful, two small telescopes separated by 1.5 kilometers could work together to create images that are as high resolution as those from a single telescope with a huge 1-kilometer-wide mirror.
