Several recent experiments showcase a sharp increase in the number of quantum bits that can be entangled, echoing Moore’s law for increasing computing power on traditional chips

The number of qubits that have been entangled in quantum computers has nearly doubled within the past year – the increase is happening so fast, it seems to be following a “quantum Moore’s law”.

First proposed by Gordon Moore at Intel in 1965, Moore’s law states that the power we can get out of a single traditional computer chip doubles at regular intervals; every year at first, then every two years as manufacturing encountered…
