2008-06-24 08:54:09 by Michael in Medgadget
...quantum dots (QDs), all enclosed by a proton-absorbing polymeric coating (aka proton sponge Each quantum dot was surrounded by a proton sponge that carried a positive charge. Without any quantum dots attached, the siRNA's negative charge would prevent it from penetrating a cell's wall. With the quantum-dot chaperone, the more weakly charged...

Researchers Make Quantum Bit Out of a Single Electron

The Article has images
2008-08-21 16:07:46 by Priya Ganapati in Gadget Lab
...quantum computing, researchers have been able to hold a single electron in a stable "1" or "0" state, enabling it to function as a numeric bit The researchers were able to trap the spin of an electron in a single quantum dot to stably produce states of quantum bits between the equivalent of 0 and 1. A quantum dot is the equivalent of a...

Another breakthrough purportedly brings us closer to quantum computing

The Article has images
2008-07-19 23:56:00 by Darren Murph in Engadget
...quantum computing , but we're incredibly relieved to learn that at least someone is still out there, somewhere, pressing on. An international team of researchers have reportedly shown that they can "control the quantum state of a single electron in a silicon transistor, even putting the electron in two places at once." Essentially, the team...

2008-06-06 16:01:00 by bookofjoe in bookofjoe
 
...Quantum Stroboscope We demonstrate a quantum stroboscope based on a sequence of identical attosecond pulses that are used to release electrons into a strong infrared (IR) laser field exactly once per laser cycle. The resulting electron momentum distributions are recorded as a function of time delay between the IR laser and the attosecond...
