Microwave Spectroscopy of a Carbon Nanotube Charge Qubit
The use of quantum dots to define charge and spin qubits is well established in the field of quantum information processing. Quantum dot charge qubits are attractive because of the possibility of fast qubit control but are sensitive to charge noise which can result in...
LCN collaborates in IARPA-funded QEO program
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), which sits within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), has just announced that it has embarked on a long-term research effort, involving a multi-institutional collaboration including...
Characterization of a pentacene-based room-temperature MASER
A paper published in Scientific Reports by LCN researchers based at both UCL and Imperial College, presents the first thorough characterisation of a room temperature, zero-field MASER (a type of laser emitting microwaves); a system that was only discovered in 2012....
