(PhysOrg.com) -- “Fock states will play a role in the future of quantum computing,” Andrew Cleland tells PhysOrg.com. “We have completed the first experimental measurement of the time decay of Fock states in a superconducting quantum circuit, and we believe this will provide useful information as we work toward developing a quantum computer.” Cleland is a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and works with a group headed by John Martinis.
