(PhysOrg.com) -- `Fock states will play a role in the future of quantum computing,` Andrew Cleland tells PhysOrg.com. `We have completed the first experimental measurement of the time decay of Fock states in a superconducting quantum circuit, and we believe this will provide useful information as we work toward developing a quantum computer.` Cleland is a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and works with a group headed by John Martinis. http://www.physorg.com/news149252720.html Physics Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:05:20 EST news149252720
