During a tour of RLE labs prior to his talk at Kresge Auditorium last Friday, President Barack Obama saw demonstrations of several clean-energy technologies being developed at MIT, including work in the RLE laboratories of Marc Baldo and Vladimir Bulovic showing...

Quantum computing may actually be useful: a quantum algorithm that solves systems of linear equations could point in a promising new direction
