Single-atom writer a landmark for quantum computingSydney, Australia (SPX) Sep 21, 2012 A research team led by Australian engineers has created the first working quantum bit based on a single atom in silicon, opening the way to ultra-powerful quantum computers of the future. In a landmark paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes how it was able to both read and write information using the spin, or magnetic orientation, of an electron bound to a single phosphorus atom embedded in a silicon chip. "For the first time, we have demonstrated the ability to represent and ma ... read more |
