Lasers have been used to throw and catch extraordinarily chilly, single atoms. The method might be used to assemble quantum computer systems sooner or later.
To rearrange atoms which might be nearly as chilly as absolute zero into completely different configurations, researchers usually seize and carry them utilizing very centered laser beams known as optical tweezers. Jaewook Ahn on the Korea Superior Institute of Science and Expertise in South Korea and his colleagues needed to discover a solution to minimise the period of time the optical tweezers …
