Fixing the positions of individual molecules on the surface of a single layer of silicon atoms
A new way to control the positioning of individual molecules on the surface of materials that are only a single layer of atoms thick has been discovered by a team of scientists from the LCN at UCL in the UK; the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology...
Observation of strong coupling and cavity quantum electrodynamics in a solid-state MASER at room-temperature
Creating practical solid-state, quantum computers that operate at room-temperature is a challenging task. This is because stored information is readily destroyed by thermal noise. A signature of a physical system’s ability to function as a quantum computer is the...
Neon FIB solves loss issue in superconducting nanowire devices
Superconducting circuits currently have a wide range of applications in metrology and quantum devices. The active element in most functional superconducting circuits is based upon one or more Josephson junctions. These are typically formed by aluminium oxide...
