Quantum superposition Superposition is nothing more than addition for waves. Let's say we have two sets of waves that overlap in space and time. At any given point, a trough may line up with a ...

"This represents the first antimatter qubit," says Stefan Ulmer, a physicist with CERN's BASE collaboration. "Most ...

To do this, the team begins by putting the atom into a superposition of two internal hyperfine spin states – this corresponds to being in both waves simultaneously. Next, the two optical waves are ...

Quantum physics tells us that particles are born in a state of superposition. Take, for instance, the property of quantum spin, which is just one example of the weirdness of the quantum universe.

Like the proverbial tree falling in the forest, scientists wonder: does reality exist on its own . . . or just when you ...

When subjected to a strong magnetic field -- from, say, a permanent magnet positioned above the diamond -- an NV center's electronic spin can be up, down, or a quantum superposition of the two.

(C) The quantum spin liquid state corresponds to a coherent superposition of exponentially many dimer coverings. (D) Detuning ∆ (t) and Rabi frequency Ω (t) used for quasi-adiabatic state preparation.

But the electron spin states therefore need to be robust against “decoherence”. This is the disordering of the electron spins during quantum superposition which results in the loss of ...

Scientists made an antimatter qubit made from an antiproton that is in a state of quantum superposition. This breakthrough ...
