Built in quality control to make quantum tech more reliable

One of quantum technology’s most powerful tools is interference, in which two or more identical particles interact in surprising ways – sometimes adding together, but sometimes subtracting from each other. This property can be used for quantum computing, communication and encryption, but only if the interacting particles are identical - but achieving that can be a significant challenge. Thanks to ANU physicists,...
