A group of scientists has managed to kwantuminformatie six hours long to keep stored on a hard disk of crystal. That is significantly longer than what was previously possible. The discovery leads to new possibilities for quantum computing solutions that.
A prototype of the ‘hard disk’ has been developed by scientists from the Australian National University. In their research, they made use of kwantuminformatie, namely the spin of europiumatomen, and kept in a crystal structure. In their experiments they managed to keep the information for six hours kept and easily accessible. This required the system to be maintained with a magnetic field.
The research means, according to the scientists a breakthrough in the saving of kwantuminformatie: the fact that quantum states are quickly broken down is the don’t have access to such information long to keep stored, such as, for example, with conventional bits on a hard drive. The Australian National University designed system can kwantuminformatie a hundred times longer to save than with techniques that previously were not available, according to researchers.
Applications of the technology are possible in techniques for quantum computing solutions that. The scientists want to be with their ‘hard drive’ is also doing research in quantum mechanics. So would the system as a portable hard drive can be used to entangled particles continue to separate than heretofore was possible, thus research to be able to do something that quantum entanglement is called. This phenomenon describes that two or more particles, so connected with each other, touching them as a single system can be described. That is also true if the particles to be separated.
