Quantum computing breakthrough uses single photons
in Nanotechbuzz, on December 13, 2005
A team of researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology recently sent a message unlike any other in history. The sender and receiver were single atoms , and the " message " was a single photon transferred between the two via a 100-meter fiber optic strand. The tiny scale of t...
