Scientists from the MIT and Harvard have figured out a way to connect individual atoms of rubidium using lasers. This new technique could further accelerate the development of ultra-powerful quantum ...

In Juy, Mikhail Lukin at Harvard University announced they had a 51 quantum bit simulator. Quantum simulators are used to model the minute behavior of molecules, and could help study how drugs act ...

A powerful quantum computer could be designed with an incredibly tiny memory. Researchers wrote the quantum state of single photons, i.e. particles of light, into a rubidium atom and read it out again ...

Spin-orbit coupling – a ubiquitous interaction in condensed-matter physics – has been simulated in ultracold neutral atoms for the first time by physicists in the US. Their experiment involves firing ...

In an ordinary computer network, data in the form of binary numbers are transferred from one machine (node) to another via some sort of electronic signal, either electrical or optical. The success of ...

This release is available in German. A data memory can hardly be any smaller: researchers working with Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have stored quantum ...
