Crystals and light a possible storage medium in quantum PCs

Post by Drakonis »

Science-type things
A team being headed up by researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) is developing quantum memory that stores information in the form of light. The process that the ANU Research School of Physics and Engineering has pioneered using a medium comprised of a praseodymium-doped yttrium orthosilicate crystal that stores light for later retrieval.

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.
