Second quantum revolution a reality with chip-based atomic physics
Norman OK (SPX) Apr 05, 2016
A University of Oklahoma-led team of physicists believes chip-based atomic physics holds promise to make the second quantum revolution--the engineering of quantum matter with arbitrary precision - a reality. With recent technological advances in fabrication and trapping, hybrid quantum systems are emerging as ideal platforms for a diverse range of studies in quantum control, quantum simulation and computing. James P. Shaffer, professor in the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy, OU ... read more
