What happens when you pop a quantum balloon?
When a tiny, quantum-scale, hypothetical balloon is popped in a vacuum, do the particles inside spread out all over the place as predicted by classical mechanics"   view more (2008-04-18)

McGill researchers squeeze light out of quantum dots
McGill University researchers have successfully amplified light with so-called "colloidal quantum dots," a technology that had been written off by many as a dead-end.   view more (2009-04-03)

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have recently reached what they are calling a milestone in experimental quantum mechanics.   view more (2008-08-06)

UD researchers put 'spin' in silicon, advance new age of electronics
Electrical engineers from the University of Delaware and Cambridge NanoTech have demonstrated for the first time how the spin properties of electrons in silicon--the world's most dominant semiconductor, used in electronics ranging from computers to cell phones--can be measured and controlled.   view more (2007-05-21)

Fermions do not travel together, theory proved
Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot "travel" in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d'optique (CNRS/Université Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in detail in the January 25, 2007 issue of Nature. It marks a major advance in our understanding of phenomena at a quantum scale.   view more (2007-03-12)

Toward plastic spin transistors
University of Utah physicists successfully controlled an electrical current using the "spin" within electrons - a step toward building an organic "spin transistor": a plastic semiconductor switch for future ultrafast computers and electronics.   view more (2008-08-18)

UCSB researchers describe breakthrough in the quantum control of light
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have recently demonstrated a breakthrough in the quantum control of photons, the energy quanta of light.   view more (2009-05-29)

Quantum computers will require complex software to manage errors
Highlighting another challenge to the development of quantum computers, theorists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shown* that a type of software operation, proposed as a solution to fundamental problems with the computers' hardware, will not function as some designers had hoped.   view more (2009-04-09)

New Exotic Material Could Revolutionize Electronics
Move over, silicon-it may be time to give the Valley a new name. Physicists at the Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have confirmed the existence of a type of material that could one day provide dramatically faster, more efficient computer chips.   view more (2009-06-16)

Finnish SPIN researchers at forefront of development: Spintronics can bring electronics down to size
Researchers working on the room temperature spintronics (SPIN) research project are the first in Europe to successfully produce GaMnN layers, which are ferromagnetic at room temperature. The layer properties were examined using electric, optic, x-ray and positron measurements. The Academy-funded SPIN project is comprised of four participating... view more... (2005-03-17)

A hidden twist in the black hole information paradox
Professor Sam Braunstein, of the University of York's Department of Computer Science, and Dr Arun Pati, of the Institute of Physics, Sainik School, Bhubaneswar, India, have established that quantum information cannot be 'hidden' in conventional ways, or in Braunstein's words, "quantum information can run but it can't hide."   view more (2007-02-28)

Nanoscience Study Shows That Quantum Dots "Talk"
Scientists who hope to use quantum dots as the building blocks for the next generation of computers have found a way to make these artificial atoms communicate.   view more (2006-02-22)

Quantum gas microscope offers glimpse of quirky ultracold atoms
Physicists at Harvard University have created a quantum gas microscope that can be used to observe single atoms at temperatures so low the particles follow the rules of quantum mechanics, behaving in bizarre ways.   view more (2009-11-05)

Soap, DNA and semiconductors
How can studying soap lead to better methods for transporting drugs around the body? Where’s the link between semiconductors and DNA and how can statistical physics reveal how ecosystems evolve? Find out at the Institute of Physics Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) Conference being held at the University of Bristol between 18 and... view more... (2000-12-13)

Growing Quantum Dots
Now physicists need not fully control the growth of laser crystals, because the crystals grow themselves. Professor Nikolay Ledentsov and his team at the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute have learned how to provide special conditions in which crystals can grow defectless.          Growing crystals with... view more...
