New simulator is next step on the road to developing quantum computers

11-26-2006 · EurekAlert!

Scientists have proven theoretically a novel way to build a simulator that can recreate the way atoms and particles behave in a quantum system, says research published today. The proposed simulator is unique because it could let researchers control how individual particles move and interact with each other. This ability to control individual parts of a quantum system is key to the development of powerful quantum computers in the future.

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.

Physicists pin down spin of surface atoms
09-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
UC-Berkeley physicists have successfully measured the atomic spin of an isolated atom, one of the necessary steps on the road to quantum computers and spintronics devices. Using a scanning tunneling microscope with a spin-polarized tip, Michael Crommie and colleagues mapped the surface topography and the surface energy levels to determine the spin of adatoms, the first time this has been measured directly.
