Tangling with Entanglement: Polar Molecules as Qubits
Online Presentations | 11 May 2011 | Contributor(s):: Dudley R. Herschbach
For arrays of polar molecules, entanglement is supplied by dipole-dipole interaction. Previous studies of prospects for computing with diatomic polar molecules had specified experimental conditions deemed suitable and accessible. This talk reports the first calculations of entanglement pertaining...
