Oxford physicists achieve world-first breakthrough in quantum physics
Bill Bowkett
Physicists at the University of Oxford have accomplished a landmark achievement in quantum science, demonstrating for the first time a fourth-order quantum effect known as "quadsqueezing". The breakthrough, detailed in Nature Physics on May 1, was achieved using a single trapped ion confined between electrode structures and manipulated with precisely calibrated laser fields. Remarkably, the Oxford team generated this elusive quantum interaction more than 100 times faster than would be expected t
