NIST ion duet offers tunable module for quantum simulator
Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 07, 2014 - Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a pas de deux of atomic ions that combines the fine choreography of dance with precise individual control. NIST's ion duet, described in Nature, is a component for a flexible quantum simulator that could be scaled up in size and configured to model quantum systems of a complexity that overwhelms tradi ... more
