A trio of electrons, the building blocks of classical computers, were entangled in a semiconductor in 2003, and the first quantum calculation was made with
a single calcium ion in 2002.

In their laboratory, Jonathan Home, professor of experimental quantum optics and photonics, and his colleagues catch a
single electrically charged
calcium ion in a tiny cage made of electric fields.
The increase in
calcium ions is shown for a
single experiment at pH = 9.25 (Fig. 1A).
The mutation resulted in a lower
single channel conductance for
calcium and a strongly increased conductance for sodium and potassium, indicating that glutamic acid - 95 is a crucial constituent of the
ion selectivity filter.
Researchers have known for decades that some microorganisms, such as
single - celled green algae, have proteins that respond to light by opening a channel in the microbe's membranes, allowing the passage of electrically charged
ions (such as
calcium and sodium).
