Entangled Atoms. Quantum Applications of Barium?

Current thinking is that exploiting quantum properties is needed to develop quantum computing. Researchers from the University of Innsbruck claim to be able to precisely control certain properties. Full control of entangling particles, generating single photons, and particle positioning, play into this “deliberate entanglement”.

Packets of Energy; Subtractable, Indivisible

Teams at the University of Southern Denmark, Arhaus University, and the University of Maryland’s Joint Quantum Institute have demonstrated the ability to subtract a photon of light from a laser beam. A unique property of light is its non-interaction with other photons as they pass through one-another. This property benefits quantum communication with high-success rates of transmission over long distances with encoded data.

Quantum Information Storage

Scientists at Rice University have built on their experience with binding photons and excitons as evidenced in a 2016 report on their accomplishments. This has translated into more recent research in which the weak and strong link between these two has been found to be tunable. In this report, details are presented which allude to the ability to create quantum-based data storage.
