– How can Rydberg polaritons switch continually from light to matter and back again
In: 2
Trying to understand this article about use of gemstones in quantum computing, but it just sounds like a plot for a marvel movie to me 🙂
>New research led by the UK’s University of St Andrews found that a special form of light made using an ancient Namibian gemstone could be the key to new light-based quantum computers, which could solve long-held scientific mysteries.
>In detail, the study found that using a naturally mined cuprous oxide (Cu2O) gemstone from Namibia it is possible to produce Rydberg polaritons, the largest hybrid particles of light and matter ever created.
