Dial a quantum state!

Today John Martinis presented some amazing experimental results showing how using superconducting phase qubits coupled to a transmission line one can synthesize arbitrary superpositions of photon number states. The figure below is taken from a recent Nature paper


Slide 1Movies can be seen at the Martinis group at UCSB site.

Characteristics of static disorder can emerge from electron-phonon interactions

Electronic systems with large amounts of static disorder can exhibit distinct properties, including localisation of electronic states and su...
