From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used to store information. In a computer laptop, the binary ones and zeroes ...
"Phonons are quantum particles of sound," said co-first author Hong Qiao, a UChicago PME postdoctoral researcher in Cleland's lab. "A phonon is not an elementary particle. It's the collective ...
In the early 20th century, UChicago scientists advanced our understanding of quantum mechanics—the laws that govern the smallest particles. Nearly 100 years later, scholars are working to harness ...
The innovation is a true example of UChicago PME's interdisciplinary research, using quantum techniques to revolutionize classical, non-quantum computers and turning research on radiation ...
