Physicists discover a new path to quantum computing: infrared illumination

by
SciTechDaily

When irradiated with infrared light, some molecules such as metal phthalocyanine vibrate and generate small localized magnetic fields. Researchers have calculated these effects and aim to test and experimentally manipulate these fields for possible applications in quantum computing.
