Quantum Computing: ‘Artificial Atom’ In Graphene Opens Up Possibilities
Ever since Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov first discovered/created graphene in 2001, the one-atom-thick sheet of graphite has caused excitement among scientists for its potential uses in technology, particularly in the fields of electronics and computing. And now, a team of scientists - Geim and Novoselov included - have created an “artificial atom” in graphene that opens up possibilities for quantum computing. “Artificial atoms” are best explained as prisons for electrons - electrons have demonstrably been trapped in tiny spaces on some semiconductor materials. Under confinement, electrons may exhibit properties different from, or beyond, their usual characteristics. But like their counterparts
