Stevens Researchers Take Step Toward More Precise, Practical Quantum Technologies

New approach could enable precise control of quantum systems, helping advance technologies for sensing, computing, spectroscopy and biomedical imaging. Quantum technologies are poised to transform fields ranging from medicine and sensing to computing and communications by manipulating the energy states of atoms and molecules. These manipulations are achieved by controlling quantum states with laser pulses. However, the intense laser fields often required for this control can cause unwanted effects disrupting the very system they aim to manipulate. Now, Stevens researchers and their…
