Atomtronics: researchers shine a light on post electronics
Most modern technologies owe their success to advances in electronics. Now researchers are starting to explore atomtronics: ways to harness the flow of waves of whole atoms, called matter waves, to enable new kinds of sensors, computers, and scientific research.
Prof. Luigi Amico, Executive Director of Quantum Physics at the TII Technology Innovation Institute in the United Arab Emirates, explains why we are on the brink of entering a “second quantum revolution.
