Nanoscope Offers Views Into Quantum Computations

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A newly developed microscope housed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames National Laboratory is poised to help researchers understand — and ultimately develop — the inner workings of quantum computing. The microscope, called a Cryogenic Magneto-Terahertz Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (cm-SNOM) by Iowa State University professor and Ames Lab senior scientist Jigang Wang, is based at Ames’ Sensitive Instrument Facility. The device is composed of a laser source, a maze of mirrors creating an optical path for light pulsing at trillions of cycles per...Read full article

    quantum
    The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
