Entangled Photons from Dots

A promising new source of entangled photons using quantum dots tweaked with a laser.

New technique provides a way to control spin-coupling among adjacent trapped ions, including "frustrated" three-ion ensembles.

PFC scientists are devising a method that could allow direct observation of an exotic class of condensed-matter states called topological insulators.

About

The Physics Frontier Center is devoted to leading-edge experimental and theoretical investigation of ways to control and process quantum coherence and entanglement: the physics of quantum information. It is funded through a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated within the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), a partnership between the University of Maryland (UMD) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with additional support from the Laboratory for Physical Sciences.
