Keep On Spinning
By controlling the collective spin state of highly mobile electrons in semiconductors, researchers in the Materials Sciences Division (MSD) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have taken a major step forward in the technology of spintronics.   view more (2009-04-02)

Spin-polarized electrons on demand
Many hopes are pinned on spintronics. In the future it could replace electronics, which in the race to produce increasingly rapid computer components, must at sometime reach its limits.   view more (2009-01-16)

The fight for the best quantum bit (qubit)
Our results give us, for the first time, the possibility to understand the interaction between just two electrons placed next to each other in a carbon nanotube.   view more (2008-06-25)

Magnets in a spin bath
Is quantum mechanics relevant to everyday life? Latest scientific evidence suggests that it is. A paper published in Science based on research from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and others, reports how quantum computers behave as if they are isolated devices. The extent to which they do this can be regulated by the environment... view more... (2005-04-15)

Quantum memory and turbulence in ultra-cold atoms
Scientists at MIT have figured out a key step toward the design of quantum information networks.   view more (2009-07-20)

Experiments at UCSB push quantum mechanics to higher levels
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have devised a new type of superconducting circuit that behaves quantum mechanically -- but has up to five levels of energy instead of the usual two. The findings are published in the August 7 issue of Science.   view more (2009-08-12)

New Law for Quantum Computers Disclosed
Arun Kumar Pati, who is currently at the University, but who is based at the Bhaba Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India, and Samuel L. Braunstein, at the School of Informatics have published a paper in the current issue of the International Journal, Nature [9 March 2000], describing their discovery of a new law, which they call the quantum... view more...

Ohio University Researchers Create Improved Magnetic-Semiconductor Sandwich
Researchers at Ohio University have created an improved magnetic semiconductor that solves a problem spintronics scientists have been investigating for years.    view more (2006-10-03)

NIST demonstrates better memory with quantum computer bits
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used charged atoms (ions) to demonstrate a quantum physics version of computer memory lasting longer than 10 seconds-more than 100,000 times longer than in previous experiments on the same ions.   view more (2005-08-11)

New Journal of Physics Quantum Cryptography Focus Issue
Real advances in quantum cryptography are described today, 12 July 2002, in a special issue of New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and the German Physical Society. Electronic transfer of information is vulnerable to attack by "eavesdroppers", hence the use of encryption techniques. Underlying nearly all forms of... view more... (2002-07-10)

Computing breakthrough could elevate security to unprecedented levels
