Antiferromagnetically ordered particles are represented by red and blue spheres in this artist’s impression. The particles are in an array of optical traps. Credit: Chen Lei Topics: Applied Physics, Computer Science, Quantum Computer, Quantum Mechanics Experiments on the Fermi–Hubbard model can now be made much larger, more uniform, and more quantitative. A universal quantum computer—capableContinue reading “FHM…”
‘Teleporting’ Images…
High-dimensional quantum transport enabled by nonlinear detection. In our concept, information is encoded on a coherent source and overlapped with a single photon from an entangled pair in a nonlinear crystal for up-conversion by sum frequency generation, the latter acting as a nonlinear spatial mode detector. The bright source is necessary to achieve the efficiencyContinue reading “‘Teleporting’ Images…”
