Quantum entanglement has been created and measured between pairs of two different kinds of nuclei for the first time. Carried out by two independent research groups, the work is a key step towards the ...

Coherently convertible dual-type qubits implemented by Yb-171 ions. a, One qubit type is encoded in the S_(1/2) hyperfine levels which are insensitive to magnetic field noise, and the other type in ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have shown how to shuttle lithium ions back and forth into the crystal structure of a quantum material, representing a new avenue for research and potential ...

When immersed into water, most solids develop a surface charge, which is neutralized by an accumulation of dissolved counterions at the interface. Although the density distribution of counterions ...

A node for quantum computing that uses two different species of ion has been unveiled by Chris Monroe and colleagues at the University of Maryland in the US. The system uses a barium ion to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nowadays, practically everyone is familiar with liquid crystal devices (just think of liquid crystal displays (LCD) in your favorite laptop, smartphone or TV). The reorientation ...

Ion channels are transmembrane proteins specifically involved with the transport of inorganic ions like Na+, K+, Ca2+, or Cl-. Ion channels are “gated”, i.e. they open in response to a specific ...
