A
quantum computer instead uses
quantum bits — called qubits — which are atomic -
scale structures that, through a
phenomenon known as «superposition,» can be both zero and one at the same time.
The new discovery hinges on a
quantum interface within atomic -
scale defects in silicon carbide that generates the fragile property of entanglement, one of the strangest
phenomena predicted by
quantum mechanics.
For instance, in order to understand particles interacting with each other in a
quantum computer, you can pretend that they are located on graph paper and safely ignore gravity and other grand -
scale relativistic
phenomena.
Chaos is usually thought to be a large -
scale phenomenon, associated with classical physics and absent from the microscopic
quantum realm.
The new discoveries show that the gravitational waves predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, which governs very large -
scale phenomena, are also
quantum phenomena.
His group has research activities in fundamental optical and magnetic interactions in semiconductor
quantum structures, spin dynamics and coherence in condensed matter systems, macroscopic
quantum phenomena in nanometer -
scale magnets, and implementations of
quantum information processing in the solid state.
This behaviour is dictated by
quantum mechanical
phenomena unfolding at the nanoscale and depends strongly on the atomic -
scale morphology of these systems.
