NIST team probes indestructible quantum states that may aid quantum computing
Date Time NIST team probes indestructible quantum states that may aid quantum computing Schematic of quantum Hall edge states in graphene probed by an atomic force microscope. In the interior of the graphene sheet, electrons under the influence of a perpendicular applied magnetic field are constrained to undergo circular motion. This turns the interior of the graphene sheet into a poor electrical conductor and even into an insulator under certain conditions. In contrast, along the boundary of the graphene, so-called topologically protected edge states provide runways for charge carriers to fl...
