Stanford Researchers Develop Quantum 'Light Switch'
Dec 14, 2007 |
A team of scientists has succeeded in directly probing a solid quantum system with light. This finding could be a milestone on the road to building a functional "quantum computer," a machine where information is coded in individual particles that flip between different states instead of in transistors switching on and off. The finding could lead to better quantum cryptography and faster optical data connections.
