Mission: Bring Qubits to Heel Via Erbium
A new spin on atoms gives scientists a closer look at quantum weirdness Artist’s rendering by Rachel Davidowitz When atoms get extremely close, they develop intriguing interactions that could be harnessed to create new generations of computing and other technologies. These interactions in the realm of quantum physics have proven difficult to study experimentally due […]
