Researchers in Taiwan have claimed to have created the smallest single-photon quantum computer in the world.

At a press briefing, a group from National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) showcased their inventiveness. They demonstrated the use of “Shor’s algorithm” to solve prime factorization on their box-sized quantum computer.

The group was able to overcome significant obstacles in the development of quantum computing, such as the requirement for low-temperature conditions and high energy demands.
