The diamond quantum revolution
In the April 2020 issue of Physics World, editors explain how diamond, this special form of carbon, now has many practical quantum applications. Here are some extracts. Diamonds are well known as the gem for marking
Towards a nanomechanical quantum switchboard
Physicists at Universität Regensburg have coupled the vibrations of a macromolecule, a carbon nanotube, to a microwave cavity, creating a novel and highly miniaturized optomechanical system. The team achieved this by using the quantization of
