Valleytronics Show Promise as Quantum Information Storage Method Valleytronics in a monolayer semiconductor at room temperature Points to note… +  Valleytronics is very attractive for future electronic devices and quantum computing technology since its quantum information storage significantly surpasses existing charge or spin control technologies. “However, the phonon-assisted intervalley scattering accelerates dramatically when temperature is […]

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.
