From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical ...

A novel ion trap could usher in a new generation of applications, because the device holds promise as a stylus for sensing very small forces or for an interface for efficient transfer of individual ...

The basic electrode geometry is shown in Fig. 1 and is formed by two concentric cylinders over a ground plane. The design provides straightforward indexing and assembly of the trap electrodes, with ...

Physicists have demonstrated an ion trap with a built-in optical fiber that collects light emitted by single ions, allowing quantum information stored in the ions to be measured. The advance could ...

There's a new record holder for the most accurate clock in the world. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have improved their atomic clock based on a trapped ...

Sometimes, all it takes to capture a great photo is a DSLR camera, a microscopic atom, and a curious Ph.D. candidate. David Nadlinger, who traps atoms for his quantum computing research at the ...

About a year ago, Honeywell announced that it had entered the quantum computing race with a technology that was different from anything else on the market. The company claimed that because the ...

As one of the key pivots in implementing its 3+3 transformation strategy, Foxconn (Hon Hai) Technology Group's Hon Hai Research Institute held a trapped ion quantum computing laboratory opening ...

An image of a single atom of the metal strontium suspended in electric fields has won the 2018 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council science photography competition. David Nadlinger‘s ...
