Quantum memories for quantum computing applications

At: 
Heriot-Watt University
Deadline: 
7 January, 2011

We are investigating a range of systems in order to produce a robust quantum memory. For example, we recently showed how to store a quantum state in a nuclear spin for over three seconds [1], in a solid state system. We are now looking at ways of extending this coherence time, and at making the memory more versatile [2].

In this project, we aim to design improved quantum memories in both single spins and spin ensembles. There will be opportunities for collaboration with experimentalists both locally, and at the University of Oxford and Princeton.
