News Bits About Qubits: Scientists Store and Retrieve Data Inside an Atom
Another step towards quantum computing - the Holy Grail of data processing and storage - was achieved when an international team of scientists that included researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were able to successfully store and retrieve information using the nucleus of an atom. view more (2008-10-27)
'Racetrack' for fast electrons in semiconductor structures
In order to realize the electrical units of voltage, resistance and current with highest accuracy quantum effects in nano-circuits are nowadays used. Important prerequisites are extremely pure semiconductor layers where high-mobile electrons move through the crystal without collision with residual impurities. view more (2008-08-29)
Ultracold test produces long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny spec of matter has something called "spin"-an intrinsic trait like eye color-that cannot be changed and which dictates, very specifically, what other bits of matter the spec can share quantum space with. view more (2005-12-23)
The Max-Planck Research Prize 2003 rewards an INTAS grantee
INTAS is pleased to congratulate Prof. Klaas Bergmann who, on 26 November 2003, as well as 11 other scientists from Germany, United States, Israel and Canada, won a Max-Planck Research Prize 2003 (Max Planck Forschungspreis fuer Internationale Kooperation 2003). This prize rewards a scientist who carried out, with his co-workers at the University... view more... (2003-12-16)
New quantum state: two electrons trapped in an excited atom
Researchers from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the University of Salamanca have discovered a method to generate a new quantum phenomenon which had never been explored until now: simultaneous trapping of two particules between two excited energy states. The research, reported in Physical Review Letters may have important applications... view more... (2002-01-23)
NIST physicists demonstrate quantum entanglement in mechanical system
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated entanglement-a phenomenon peculiar to the atomic-scale quantum world-in a mechanical system similar to those in the macroscopic everyday world. view more (2009-06-04)
High Value Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every eighteen months. However current silicon technologies are approaching the limits imposed by quantum mechanics, which will stop Moore's Law in its tracks within 20 years. New materials and techniques must be found to complement and increase the capabilities of the current... view more... (2004-07-09)
NIST develops novel ion trap for sensing force and light
Miniature devices for trapping ions (electrically charged atoms) are common components in atomic clocks and quantum computing research. Now, a novel ion trap geometry demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could usher in a new generation of applications because the device holds promise as a stylus for sensing... view more...

Moving a bit nearer to a quantum computer
By the time you`ve had your new computer for six months, much faster processors will already be on the market. But there is a limit to how fast conventional computers can become. This is because computers process information in a step-by-step fashion, carrying out each part of the process in turn. To make things work really fast, we need to build... view more... (2002-07-23)
FSU researchers' material may lead to advances in quantum computing
Scientists at Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and the university's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry have introduced a new material that could be to computers of the future what silicon is to the computers of today. view more (2007-10-09)
True randomness upon request
The number of applications requiring random numbers increases continuously. They are used for example in cryptographic applications to guarantee the secrecy of electronic communications, in scientific calculations or in chance games and lotteries. In spite of this, their generation remains a difficult task. The Group of Applied Physics and the... view more... (2004-03-17)
Lise Meitner Prize 2002 Of The European Physical Society
Berlin, May 2002 The European Physical Society announces that the Lise Meitner Prize 2002 is awarded to Prof. James Philip Elliott, University of Sussex (UK) Prof. Francesco Iachello, University of Yale (USA) For their innovative applications of group theoretical methods to the understanding of atomic nuclei. The physics case The study of the... view more... (2002-08-19)
Protein simulation can be done three times as fast
Protein movement can be simulated three times as fast than had been thought possible up to now. Researchers from Groningen achieved the gain in speed by leaving out the calculations concerning hydrogen atoms. Meanwhile research groups around the world are adapting their simulation programs. view more (2002-06-24)
Quantum Systems Could Flout Physics Law
Scientists in the Weizmann Institute's Faculty of Chemistry, together with colleagues in Germany, have made a startling prediction: Simply 'taking the temperature' of certain quantum systems at frequent intervals might cause them to disobey a hard and fast rule of thermodynamics. view more (2008-06-03)
'Smart' nanoprobes light up disease
Researchers from Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) have developed a "smart" beacon hundreds of times smaller than a human cell that is programmed to light up only when activated by specific proteases. view more (2005-08-02)
True properties of carbon nanotubes measured
For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic structure should, in theory, give them mechanical and electrical properties far superior to most common materials. view more (2008-08-18)
Purdue scientists see biochemistry's future - with quantum physics
Chemists who have trouble predicting how some large, complex biological molecules will react with others may soon have a solution from the world of computational quantum physics. view more (2005-09-16)
Quantum computer chips now 1 step closer to reality
In the quest for smaller, faster computer chips, researchers are increasingly turning to quantum mechanics -- the exotic physics of the small. The problem: the manufacturing techniques required to make quantum devices have been equally exotic. That is, until now. view more (2009-10-16)
