Title: Scientists Zap Diamond With Laser to Record Quantum Behavior Post by: HCK on August 27, 2014, 09:00:20 pm Scientists Zap Diamond With Laser to Record Quantum Behavior
Researchers recently developed a technique to record the quantum mechanical behavior of one electron in a nanoscale defect in diamond. The team used ultra-fast pulses of laser light both to control the defect's entire quantum state and to observe how the state of one electron in the defect changes over time. "This experiment uses a 'trapped' electron," said team leader David Awschalom.
