Researchers Study Self-Synchronization of Quantum Objects

Fascinating enough, apparently independent pendulum clocks can function together and tick in synchrony at the same time. Occurring often in nature as well as engineering, the “self-organized synchronization” phenomenon is one of the important research areas of Marc Timme and his colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization.

Researchers Explore Ways of Developing Quantum Bits by Using Graphene

A number of projects are exploring ways to develop quantum bits or qubits as a result of the ongoing race to manufacture a quantum computer. Qubits are stable, that is, they are not greatly affected by environmental changes. This usually needs highly nonlinear, non-dissipative elements that have the potential to function at extremely low temperatures.
