Manipulating Electron Spin-orbit Coupling to Encode Data
Manipulating Electron Spin-orbit Coupling to Encode Data. A new testing ground for quantum systems can literally turn particle interactions on and off. Spintronics, or spin transport electronics, uses the spin of an electron to encode information. This is in difference to how “classical electronics” encode data – via the positive or negative charge, effectively a 1 […]

Closest We May Come to A Real-life Schrodinger’s Cat
Closest We May Come to A Real-life Schrodinger’s Cat. Quantum theory is difficult for virtually all of us to wrap our minds around. The theory attempts to predict the behaviors of electrons, sub-atomic particles, photons, and overall, the tinniest known components. “One of the key tenets underlying quantum theory is the idea that a particle can […]
Q&A: The talent shortage in quantum computing
The dream scenario for quantum computing, when the concept was first proposed back in the 1980s, was to develop a system based on the principles of quantum mechanics that, for certain problems, could enable much faster computations than conventional computers. Now, as the technology is beginning to move from theory into practice, a shortage of […]
