Imaging quantum entanglement

An international team including scientists from the London Center for Nanotechnology today publishes findings in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrating the dramatic effects of quantum mechanics in a simple magnet. The importance of the work lies in establishing how a conventional tool of material science -- neutron beams produced at particle accelerators and nuclear reactors -- can be used to produce images of the ghostly entangled states of the quantum world.

1. Entanglement Unties A Tough Quantum Computing Problem
   09-30-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Error correction coding is a fundamental process that underlies all of information science, but the task of adapting classical codes to quantum computing has long bumped up against what seemed to be a fundamental limitation. But a new approach by three theorists working at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering dramatically changes the rules of the game. Adding entangled photons as part of the message stream, they report in Science, opens the door to use of the entire error coding playbook.

2. NIST physicists boost 'entanglement' of atom pairs
   10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Physicists at NIST have taken a significant step toward transforming entanglement -- an atomic-scale phenomenon described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" -- into a practical tool. They demonstrated a method for refining entangled atom pairs, a process called purification, so they can be more useful in quantum computers and communications systems, emerging technologies that exploit the unusual rules of quantum physics for pioneering applications such as "unbreakable" data encryption.

4. Making strides in quantum dot infrared photodetectors
   05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Northwestern University researchers have made significant strides in the development of quantum dot infrared photodetectors -- technology that may provide new imaging techniques with applications in medical and biological imaging, environmental and chemical monitoring, night vision and infrared imaging from space. Conventional technology for imaging applications typically requires that the detector be cooled to very low temperatures. By using nanotechnology to form quantum dots, the researchers are closer to developing high-performance imaging techniques that can operate at higher temperatures.
