The amazing acenes: organic crystals show siliconlike abilities and may elucidate fundamental physics

Article Abstract:

Researchers are testing the use of organic crystals called acenes for their superconductivity and fractional quantum Hall effect, properties seen only in inorganic crystals. Successful results will advance the understanding of superconductivity.

Ion power: Atomic ions prove their quantum versatility

Article Abstract:

Atomic ions have proved their quantum versatility in the experiments, which would help in the quest to build a large-scale quantum computer. A group at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor led by Christopher Monroe and Kathy-Anne Brickman has demonstrated an algorithm, Grover's quantum on a system of two trapped cadmium ions.

Computing with quantum knots

Article Abstract:

Quantum computers promise to perform calculations believed to be impossible for ordinary computers. Quantum computers ensure to greatly exceed the abilities of classical computers, but must have very low error rates to function.
