Breakthrough In Quantum Mechanics: Superconducting Electronic Circuit Pumps Microwave Photons

ScienceDaily, Aug. 5, 2008 Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have used a superconducting electronic circuit known as a Josephson phase qubit to store up to six microwave photons in a superconducting microwave resonator. The research could help in the quest to build a quantum computer.   Read Original Article>>
