Summary edit
DescriptionQuantum buffer (5940501733).jpg |
In this simplified representation of the experimental setup for a 'quantum buffer,' a cell containing rubidium gas is used to produce a pair of information-rich entangled images. One of the images goes through a second rubidium gas cell and slows down, which is potentially useful for feeding data at properly timed intervals to future quantum computers. The delay can be controlled such that, during the time it takes one image to travel a centimeter, the other image can travel up to 8 meters. The twisted loops illustrate the entanglement between the images. Credit: A.
