'Kink state' control may provide pathway to quantum electronics
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, July 25 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news:
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. The key to developing quantum electronics may have a few kinks. According to a team led by researchers at Penn State, that's not a bad thing when it comes to the precise control needed to fabricate and operate such devices, including advanced sensors and lasers. The researchers fabricated a switch to turn on and off the presence of kink states, which are electrical conduction
