Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen have managed to store quantum information using two entangled beams. Quantum memory, or storage of information is a prerequisite for future quantum communication networks. Their results were published in Nature Physics.
The image above shows the table for an experiment testing quantum information. The table is covered with optical elements such as mirrors, lenses or retardation plates, which are used to guide and manipulate infrared light. Within each of the two metal cylinders, there is a glass cell with cesium atoms. These two cylinders are magnetic shields protecting the atoms of magnetic fields. In the upper right you can see a pair of detectors used to measure the infrared light.

Researchers from North Carolina State University received a grant of 3 years, $ 1.2 million, funded by the National Science Foundation’s Center for Chemical Innovation (NSF-CCI). This amount is intended to strengthen research in the emerging field of molecular spintronics, including the creation of a center affiliated with the NC State University. The main objective is the development of this technology for the manufacture of new electronic components smaller, faster, with better efficiency and greater storage capacity.
