Innovative Ion Trap on a Semiconductor

Denix writes "MIT's TechnologyReview has an interesting article on a silicon-based "ion trap" in order to host a "qubit." The Ion Trap technology 'uses electric and magnetic fields to isolate a charged particle from its environment -- a prerequisite for exploiting the temperamental quantum properties of electrons."

  1. Quantum Computing and Ghost Busting by mystic_mind · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This is cool stuff But when someone figures out how to trap a ghost with this technology......now we're talking. And, will someone please teach me how to write an equation for ghost so we can finally fix them.
