Long-distance quantum information exchange—success at the nanoscale

Friday, March 15, 2019 - 09:20 in Physics & Chemistry

At the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, researchers have realized the swap of electron spins between distant quantum dots. The discovery brings us a step closer to future applications of quantum information, as the tiny dots have to leave enough room on the microchip for delicate control electrodes. The distance between the dots has now become big enough for integration with traditional microelectronics and perhaps, a future quantum computer. The result is achieved via a multinational collaboration with Purdue University and UNSW, Sydney, Australia, now published in Nature Communications.
