How to create distinguishable states for quantum systems | MIT News

Researchers around the world are racing to develop new quantum-based systems for sensing, communication, computing, and control that have the promise of outperforming traditional systems. Creating stable, measurable, distinguishable quantum states, which would be the heart of any such system, is a daunting task. Quantum states possess unique properties that can be exploited for developing […]
