Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in electrically controlling quantum states of electrons, a step that could help in the development of quantum computing. The work is published online today on the Science Express Web site.
Professor Guillermo Bazan and a team of postgraduate researchers at UC Santa Barbara’s Center for Polymers and Organic Solids (CPOS) today announced a major advance in the synthesis of organic polymers for plastic solar cells.
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in quantum mechanics using a superconducting electrical circuit. The finding is reported in this week’s issue of the journal Nature.
Scientists can climb inside the University of California, Santa Barbara’s three-story-high AlloSphere for a life-size interaction with their research.
A total of 100 high school students have enrolled in UC Santa Barbara’s new "School for Scientific Thought" to learn about "Mutants, Spirals, and Riots," "Industrial Espionage," "Biology and Ecology of Infectious Diseases," and other "hot topics" in science and engineering in the first of a series of free Saturday mini-courses offered by the California NanoSystems Institute and supported by the National Science Foundation.
Researchers synthesize arbitrary quantum states with a superconducting
device.
In the quest for quantum information processing, diamonds may be a physicist’s best friend.
According to scientists at UC Santa Barbara, diamonds could revolutionize the field of quantum mechanics in computing by leading to ultra-secure communication, lightning-fast database searches, and code-cracking ability.
The UCSB Student Chapter of SACNAS (the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) has been selected as the National Chapter of the Year out of over thirty student chapters across the nation. More…
Photograph 51, by Anna Ziegler, has been awarded the $10,000 first prize in the STAGE International Competition for plays about science and technology. Ms. Ziegler’s winning play was chosen by Pulitzer, Tony, Olivier & Nobel-winning judges David Auburn, David Lindsay-Abaire, John Guare, Dr. Douglas Osheroff & Sir Anthony Leggett. STAGE - Scientists, Technologists and Artists Generating Exploration - is a collaboration between the Professional Artists Lab and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In today’s Science Express, the advance online publication of the journal Science, researchers report a series of experiments that mark an important step toward understanding a longstanding fundamental physics problem of quantum mechanics. The scientists presented their findings at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society here this week.
