Using the power of symmetry for new quantum technologies
By taking advantage of nature’s own inherent symmetry, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have found a way to control and communicate with the dark state of atoms. This finding opens another door towards building quantum computing networks and quantum sensors to detect the elusive dark matter in the universe. “Nature likes symmetries and so do we. The foundation of our experiments is an innovative engineering trick where we control and make use of the available symmetries in a system which otherwise is very challenging to tame”, says Dr. Aamir Ali,
