Transferring quantum information using sound
Quantum physics is on the brink of a technological breakthrough: new types of sensors, secure data transmission methods and maybe even computers could be made possible thanks to quantum technologies. However, the main obstacle here is finding the right way to couple and precisely control a sufficient number of quantum systems (for example, individual atoms). Continue reading “Transferring quantum information using sound”
Physicists devise method to reveal how light affects materials
Physicists developed a way to determine the electronic properties of thin gold films after they interact with light. Nature Communicationspublished the new method, which adds to the understanding of the fundamental laws that govern the interaction of electrons and light. Continue reading “Physicists devise method to reveal how light affects materials”
