The use of lasers to control and atoms and molecules — the eventual building blocks of quantum computers — has been practiced since the 1960s and has since revolutionized atomic, molecular, and optical physics. The technique essentially works by firing a laser at the atoms and molecules, causing them to absorb the photons from the […]
