UCSB Makes Photon Find

Quantum research physicists at UCSB have made a scientific breakthrough by controlling particles of light. Physicists Max Hofheinz, Haohua Wang, John Martinis and Andrew Cleland trapped photons in a qubit, sometimes called an “artificial atom,” and were able to control it in order to create a superposition of states - where multiple states of photons exist simultaneously. The researchers were
