Lasers Encode Quantum Data in Single Carbene Molecule
Researchers encoded quantum information into one carbene molecule using lasers. The work marks an early step toward building a molecular quantum computer.
yahoo.comResearchers encoded quantum information into a single molecule of carbene by directing lasers at the molecule. The experiment is described as an initial demonstration toward constructing a molecular quantum computer.
The process relied on laser pulses to place the molecule into a controlled quantum state. No additional molecules or larger systems were used in the reported trial.
The result is presented as a first step rather than a completed device. Further development steps are not detailed in the announcement.
