The other day we could see how physicists managed to read entangled photons at an unprecedented distance of 16km. Today we can read that physicists in Bristol can set particles to a known state.
It's awesome! Awesome I tell you.
The quantum is yielding its weird secrets.
Theoretical physicists Noah Linden and Sandu Popescu, along with graduate student Paul Skrzypczyk, all of the University of Bristol in England, describe their concept in a paper to be published in Physical Review Letters. If it can be implemented, the work could find use in preparing qubits, which are often single atoms, for use in quantum-information systems by initializing them to a known state.
