Watching the wavefunction collapse

Play all audios:

    

The continuous random path of a superconducting system's quantum state has been tracked as the state changes during measurement. The results open the possibility of steering quantum


systems into a desired state. SEE LETTER p.211 Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
