Sentences with phrase «using neutral atoms»

and his colleagues came up with a third approach to building a quantum system, using neutral atoms — atoms that hold no electrical charge — as qubits.

The main obstacle to using neutral atoms as qubits has been that, unlike ions, they experience very weak forces and are not easily held in place.

Not exact matches

To trap individual neutral atoms, the researchers first used a laser to cool a cloud of rubidium atoms to ultracold, near - absolute - zero temperatures, slowing the atoms down from their usual, high - speed trajectories.

The challenge in confining antihydrogen, besides the fact that it annihilates on contact, is that it is electrically neutral, so the same traps that can be used to steer and confine the charged antiparticles are useless once those antiparticles bind together into an atom.

Using the extreme - scale XGC1 kinetic code for the modeling, researchers found that neutral atoms impact turbulence from IGT in a couple of ways.

In the first basic - physics attempt to study the impact, PPPL physicist Daren Stotler, working under PPPL's C.S. Chang, used an extreme - scale computer code to model how the recycled neutral atoms tend to increase turbulence in detail that had never before been possible.

This effect was previously unknown, because only electrically neutral atoms had been used in measuring half - lives.18

Using molecular dynamics simulations, the researchers calculated 24,400 independent configurations of neutral, gas - phase gold clusters containing 5 to 14 atoms at temperatures from -173 to 541 °C (100 to 814K).
