Quantum Refrigerator Created A team of particle physicists announces the creation of a refrigerator, in a quantum system made up of three individual qubits, or quantum bits. These are the basic components of such a system, and they all respect the entanglement principle. This basically states that any change affecting one of the qubits will affe... 28 August 2010 06:03 GMT Atomic and Molecular Behavior Simulated While most areas of science are still waiting for the development of quantum computers suitable for their needs, chemistry is already beginning to reap the benefits of these devices. For the first time ever, scientists were able to use these impressive machines to study the behavior of atoms and molecules, a feat tha... 21 July 2010 05:41 GMT Macroscopic Electrical Circuit Can Be Quantum System According to a scientific paper appearing in this issue of the respected scientific journal Nature, experts at the university of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) have recently managed a remarkable breakthrough in the field of quantum mechanics. They have succeeded in detecting the quantum correlations in the result... 24 September 2009 06:33 GMT
