Quantum States Created in Everyday Electronics

In a significant breakthrough, scientists at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering integrated and electrically controlled quantum states in commonly used electronic devices made from silicon carbide.

• The scientists created what they called a “quantum FM radio”, capable of sending quantum information across long distances with high levels of control.
• They also described a second breakthrough that addresses a very common problem in quantum technology: noise.
• The team used a basic electronics element called a diode to free a quantum signal of noise and make it almost perfectly stable. The diode acts as a one-way switch ....
