Light Can be used to Sense Quantum Information in a Dense Nuclei Cloud

Quantum computing is gaining traction as researchers are coming up with fine technologies to boost the juvenile field of Information Technology (IT).  Researchers have devised a way to control the behavior of a cloud of atomic nuclei. 

Scientists have found a method to deploy light and an electron to communicate with a cloud of quantum bits and detect their performance. The technology enables light to sense a single quantum information that is stored in a dense nuclei cloud.

Researchers from Cambridge University injected a ‘needle’ of highly fragile quantum data in a ‘haystack’ of 100,000 nuclei. They then used laser beam to control a single electron. The electron has the ability to control the behavior of the ‘haystack.’

The technology enables highly fragile information to be sent optically to a nuclear system for storage. The study showed how the quantum information would be easily detected by the ability of scientists to manipulate the spin.

The study is closely pinned to quantum computing as it entails the process of sending and receiving quantum information in the form of quibits. The process was compared to a dog that herds sheep.

“We don’t have a way of ‘talking’ to the cloud and the cloud doesn’t have a way of talking to us. But what we can talk is an electron: we can communicate with it sort of like a dog that herds sheep,” Mete Atature stated.
