Princeton researchers claim quantum computing breakthrough - EE Times

SAN FRANCISCO—Researchers from Princeton University have developed a technique to read spintronic information off electrons, a potential step on the road to quantum computing. Spintronics—a concept in which information is passed by the spin on electronics rather than their charge— promises to revolutionize the computing industry with smaller, faster and more energy efficient data storage and processing.

The microwave stream allowed the scientists to read the spin state of the electrons. "We create a cavity with mirrors on both ends—but they don't reflect visible light, they reflec...
