At the Institute for Applied Physics research is conducted in the field of modern optics. Novel laser systems and their properties are investigated and the quantum properties of light are used to store and cool atoms. In addition, new quantum encryption methods are explored with the aim of making our computers of the future more secure.
Optical effect advances quantum computing with atomic qubits to a new dimension
Publication in Physical Review Letters
Quantum computers might be able to crack currently unsolvable tasks, but it is not easy to expand them to the necessary size. A new technique from a team of Darmstadt physicists could overcome this hurdle.
