Tiny Carbon Rings Enable a New Form of Quantum Control

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum states can be precisely controlled with the help of tiny carbon rings measuring only a few nanometres in size. This is made possible by a class of rarely utilized electromagnetic dipoles called toroidal moments. Using computer simulations, physicists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have now found a way […]
