Measuring Qubits with “Time Travel” Protocol
Quantum sensing can benefit from entanglement protocols that can be interpreted as allowing qubits to go backward in time to choose an optimal initial state. Read More »
Mechanical Coupling to Spin Qubits
A vibrating nanobeam could be used to share information between distant solid-state spin qubits, potentially allowing use of these qubits in complex computations. Read More »
