Manipulating Light on Superconducting Chips

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 5, 2013 — Light manipulated on a superconducting chip using a switch that shapes released photons in different waveforms could forge new pathways to building the quantum devices of the future — including superfast and powerful quantum computers. Physicists in the lab of John Martinis, professor of physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have developed an unprecedented level of manipulating light on a superconducting chip, a crucial step in achieving controllable quantum devices, according to first author Yi Yin. “In our experiment, we caught and released photons...Read full article

    resonator
    A resonator is a device or system that exhibits resonance, which is a phenomenon that occurs when an external force or stimulus is applied at a specific frequency, causing the system to oscillate with increased amplitude. Resonators are found in various fields and can take different forms depending on the type of waves involved, such as mechanical waves, acoustic waves, electromagnetic waves, or optical waves. Key points about resonators: Resonance: Resonance is a condition where a...
