The laws of quantum physics are not only extraordinary – they also offer some far-reaching and unique possibilities for advanced information processing, quantum computing and cryptography. So far, the basic building blocks for such quantum operations are electric circuitry in form of superconducting resonators, light in form of photons or atoms in form of ion chains. However, all these quantum systems have their drawbacks, and scientists are therefore continuously searching for useful…

Qubits from Beam Electrons

Konstanz-based physicists use laser light to modulate free electrons into qubits – binary quantum systems for potential use in quantum information
