Microwaves force single atoms to absolute zero in quantum tech
Sussex UK (SPX) Jul 07, 2015
Physicists at the University of Sussex have found a way of using everyday technology found in kitchen microwaves and mobile telephones to bring quantum physics closer to helping solve enormous scientific problems that the most powerful of today's supercomputers cannot even begin to embark upon. A team led by Professor Winfried Hensinger has frozen single charged atoms to within a millionth of a degree of absolute zero (minus 273.15 C) with the help of microwave radiation. This technique will simpl ... read more
