Laser-Like Photons Signal Major Step Towards Quantum 'Internet'
March 19, 2013 The realization of quantum networks is one of the major challenges of modern physics. Now, new research shows how high-quality photons can be generated from "solid-state" chips, bringing us closer to ... > full story -
Causing Collapse: Can One Affect an Atom's Spin Just by Adjusting the Way It Is Measured?
March 18, 2013 One of the most basic laws of quantum mechanics is that a system can be in more than one state -- it can exist in multiple realities -- at once. This phenomenon, known as the superposition principle, ... > full story -
Smallest Vibration Sensor in the Quantum World
March 15, 2013 Carbon nanotubes and magnetic molecules are considered building blocks of future nanoelectronic systems. Their electric and mechanical properties play an important role. Researchers have now found a ... > full story -
Chemical Chameleon Tamed: Researchers Give Floppy Molecule a Structure Through Solvent Effects
March 14, 2013 How you get the chameleon of the molecules to settle on a particular "look" has been discovered by chemists in Germany. The molecule CH5+ is normally not to be described by a single rigid structure, ... > full story -
Electrons Behaving Like a Particle and a Wave: Feynman's Double-Slit Experiment Brought to Life
March 13, 2013 The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment -- a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave -- has been ... > full story -
Mechanical Micro-Drum Used as Quantum Memory
March 13, 2013 Researchers have demonstrated that information encoded as a specific point in a traveling microwave signal -- the vertical and horizontal positions of a wave pattern at a certain time -- can be ... > full story -
Quantum Magnets Moving Along: Scientists Observes Coherent Propagation of a Single Spin Impurity in a Chain of Ultracold Atoms
March 13, 2013 Many discoveries in physics came as a big surprise -- for example the phenomenon, that some materials loose almost all their electrical resistance at low temperatures, or that others become ... > full story -
Quantum Refrigerator Offers Extreme Cooling and Convenience
March 8, 2013 Researchers have demonstrated a solid-state refrigerator that uses quantum physics in micro- and nanostructures to cool a much larger object to extremely low temperatures. What's more, the prototype ... > full story -
The Future of Ion Traps: Technology Will Continue to Be Leader in Development of Quantum Computing Architectures
March 7, 2013 Scientists speculate on ion trap technology as a scalable option for quantum information ... > full storyMore: -
Engineering Breakthrough Promises Significantly More Efficient Solar Cells
March 7, 2013 A new technique could lead to significantly more efficient solar cells. Quantum dot photovoltaics offers the potential for low-cost, large-area solar power -- however these devices are not yet highly ... > full story
