Researchers nearly reached quantum limit with nanodrums
Helsinki, Finland (SPX) Nov 03, 2016
Researchers at Aalto University and the University of Jyvaskyla have developed a new method of measuring microwave signals extremely accurately. This method can be used for processing quantum information, for example by efficiently transforming signals from microwave circuits to the optical regime. If you are trying to tune in a radio station but the tower is too far away, the signal gets distorted by noise. The noise results mostly from having to amplify the information carried by the signal in o ... read more
