Quantum dark states lead to an advantage in noise reduction
Multilevel atoms on a superradiance potential “rollercoaster” inside an optical cavity. The system can be tuned to generate squeezing in a dark state where it will be immune to superradiance.…
Diamond quantum memory with Germanium vacancy exceeds coherence time of 20 ms

Scientists report first look at electrons moving in real-time in liquid water
Scientists used a synchronized attosecond X-ray pulse pair (pictured pink and green here) from an X-ray free electron laser to study the energetic response of electrons (gold) in liquid water…
A new design for quantum computers
Illustration of a quantum simulator with atoms trapped into a square lattice with lasers. The small spheres at the corners are atoms in their lowest energy state. The ones inside…
