The Quantum Nanoelectronics Laboratory (QNL) at the University California, Berkeley investigates the quantum coherence of condensed matter systems ranging from single-quantum devices, such as squeezed states in high-Q cavities, to engineered many-body quantum states of microwave light which can be used to study quantum thermodynamics…
Quantum mechanicsĀ is one of the most thoroughly tested and successful theories in the history of science to explain the properties of atoms and light. It is also one of the most controversial ones. For over 80 years, quantum mechanics has stirred up deep debate amongst physicists, in particular about the notion that an object can be in a coherent superposition of two states simultaneously.
