New Approach Moves Trapped Ion Pairs Through a Laser Beam to Create Entangled Gates

Trapped ions excited with a laser beam can be used to create entangled qubits in quantum information systems, but addressing several stationary pairs of ions in a trap requires multiple optical switches and complex controls. Now, scientists at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have demonstrated the feasibility of a new approach that moves trapped ion pairs through a single laser beam, potentially reducing power requirements and simplifying the system.

Study may Help Optimize the Performance of All-Polymer Blend Solar Cells

All-polymer blend solar cells are expected to play an important role in the transition to clean energy technologies because they can be easily produced in large-scale flexible sheets. However, their performance has lagged behind that of more traditional silicon alternatives, as well as other organic solar cells.

Quantum-Mechanical Entanglement Takes Center Stage at Attosecond Laser Laboratory

Quantum mechanics is famous for the way that its predictions challenge intuitive human thinking developed through the way that we experience the everyday world around us. Among other things, quantum objects can display both particle- and wave-like character, can interfere and can occur in the form of quantum superpositions.

Breaking the Mode Symmetry to Enhance Optical Trapping Behavior

Optical tweezers use light to immobilize microscopic particles as small as a single atom in 3D space. The basic principle behind optical tweezers is the momentum transfer between light and the object being hold. Much analogous to the water pushing on a dam that blocks the stream, light pushes onto objects (and also attracts them) that make the light bend.
