Atoms queue up for quantum computer networks

24 December 2014

Atoms queue up for quantum computer networksIn order to develop future quantum computer networks, it is necessary to hold a known number of atoms. To do this, researchers from NBI have developed a method with a trap that captures the atoms along an ultra thin glass fiber

Breakthrough in light sources for new quantum technology

Breakthrough in light sources for new quantum technology Future quantum circuits are photonic circuits, i.e. circuits based on light (photons) instead of electrons. Now scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute have succeeded in creating a steady stream of photons emitted one at a time and in a

Unavoidable disorder used to build nanolaser

Unavoidable disorder used to build nanolaser Researchers at NBI have discovered that imperfect nanostructures can offer entirely new functionalities. They have shown that imperfect optical chips can be used to produce ‘nanolasers’, which is an ultimately compact and

Ultra sensitive detection of radio waves with lasers

Ultra sensitive detection of radio waves with lasers When detecting radio waves ‘noise’ in the instrument limits how sensitive and precise the measurements can be. Now researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have developed a new method where they can avoid noise by means of
