미국 에너지부(DOE) 아르곤 국립 연구소(Argonne National Laboratory, ANL)가 이끄는 팀이 미래 양자 컴퓨팅을 향한 중요한 이정표를 달성했다. 그들은 새로운 유형의 큐비트(qubits)에 대한 결맞음(coherence) 시간을 0.1밀리초로 확장했다. 이는 이전 기록보다 거의 1000배 향상된 것이다. 이 연구는 Nature Physics에 게재됐다. 미국 인디에나주 노트르담 대학교 Dafei Jin 교수는 “10~100번의 작업이 가능했던 기존 전자 전하 큐비트 결맞음 시간에 비해…
Scientists make pivotal discovery of method for wireless modulation of neurons with X-rays. This could improve the lives of patients with brain disorders. Many people worldwide suffer from movement-related brain disorders. Epilepsy accounts for more than 50 million; essential tremor, 40 million; and Parkinson’s disease, 10 million. Relief for some brain disorder sufferers may one…
In a feat requiring perseverance, world-leading technology, and no small amount of caution, scientists have used intense X-rays to inspect irradiated nuclear fuel. The imaging, led by researchers at Purdue University and conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, revealed a 3-D view of the fuel’s interior structure, laying the groundwork…
Using two flat-top diamonds and a lot of pressure, scientists have forced a magnetic crystal into a spin liquid state, which may lead to insights into high-temperature superconductivity and quantum computing. It sounds like a riddle: What do you get if you take two small diamonds, put a small magnetic crystal between them and squeeze…
