In the new concept for quantum gate demonstrated by researchers in Germany, photons impinging on an optical cavity mediate an interaction between two atoms trapped inside. This interaction is the basis for performing characteristic gate operations between the atoms. The gate operations take place within microseconds and the gate mechanism can be applied to other experimental platforms, and the two-atom gate can serve as a building block in a quantum repeater… read more.
