“A nuclear-spin dark state is a special quantum state where the nucleus of an atom becomes, in essence, “hidden” from the outside world,” explained the researchers in a press release.

In a nuclear-spin dark state, the tiny magnetic properties—known as spins—of atomic nuclei line up and synchronize in a way that stops them from disturbing an electron's spin.

The cat state in the UNSW study is an atom of antimony, which is a heavy atom with a large nuclear spin. The high spin value implies that, instead of just pointing up and down (that is, in one of two ...

By carefully steering atomic nuclear spins, researchers found a way to store and retrieve quantum information without ...

This is already very useful as it dramatically improves the electron spin qubit performance.” Magnon excitation. Now, using a gallium arsenide quantum dot, the team has used the feedback algorithm to ...

In an electron or nuclear spin qubit, the familiar binary “0” or “1” state of a classical computer bit is represented by spin, a property that is loosely analogous to magnetic polarity — meaning the ...

This is an illustration of symmetry in the magnetic properties -- or nuclear 'spins' -- of strontium atoms. JILA researchers observed that if two atoms have the same nuclear spin state (top), they ...

Posted: Sep 08, 2014: Researchers separate the nuclear spin states of water (Nanowerk News) Using an "electric prism", scientists have found a new way of separating water molecules that differ only in ...

Since 1999, scientists have known that chirality, one of the most fundamental properties of certain molecules, has a powerful effect on spin state, but it was thought to have no effect on coupling.

In a nuclear-spin dark state, the tiny magnetic properties—known as spins—of atomic nuclei line up and synchronize in a way that stops them from disturbing an electron's spin.
