1.0 Cu. Ft. 1100 Watt Mid-size Microwave - White

Diamonds Are a Quantum Scientist's Best Friends

So far they've built a two-qubit unit for a quantum computer.

A qubit is the quantum computing equivalent of a bit, and it can be both on and off at the same time, unlike a regular bit which must be in one state or the other.

"We're exploiting the hyper-fine interaction between the electron spin and the nuclear spin," team member Zhihui Wang, a post-doctoral researcher at UC Santa Barbara, told TechNewsWorld. "Such interaction exists naturally in the system."

The electron spin precesses "really fast" in a magnetic field, while the nuclear spin is about 1,000 times slower, Wang said. The fast spin can be used to process information and the slow spin for storage.

Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotation axis of a rotating body. It's most clearly seen in a spinning top that's slowing down and leaning first one way and then another.

The experiment was a proof of concept to show that it's possible to protect a qubit against decoherence.

The Sharp Carousel Microwave - Sharp Microwave Carousel

- The total body of the machine measures seventeen and a half by twenty-one and five-eights by twelve and thre-eights inches

The Sharp Carousel Microwave comes in a beautiful black color as well as white and stainless steel (you cannot find this as red microwave ovens – unfortunately). Which color you choose should depend on the design of your kitchen as you want the style, color, and feel of your kitchen to flow evenly. The total power ouput of this microwave is 1100 watts. The interiror material is acrylic paint. There are severl drawbacks but they are minor. There is no convection setting and there is no broil capability. There is however, a popcorn key, one-touch cooking categories, and a simmer/keep warm function. The unit weighs thirty-eight pounds so if you plan on buying it online try and find an online retailer that offers free shipping. The Sharp Carousel Microwave is a very durable and stable appliance that offers all the convenience and...
