Quantum magnets forced to ”chillax”
In what may provide a potential path to connecting data in a quantum computer, researchers have shown that excited atoms in silicon can be forced into a relaxed state on-demand using a device that serves as a microwave “tuning fork.” The team’s findings could...
Carol Monaghan visits LCN laboratories
Scottish National Party MP, Carol Monaghan, visited UCL last week. She had a meeting with UCL Professor Graeme Reid, Chair of Science and Research Policy, before they visited the London Centre for Nanotechnology. Carol is a physicist by training and was Head of...
Coupled quantum spins in a CMOS nano-device
LCN scientists have demonstrated a new hybrid system that is a promising candidate as a building block for quantum computation, showing a way to couple a natural phosphorus atom with an artificial atom called a quantum dot. The research, published recently in the...
