Physicists get thousands of semiconductor nuclei to do ‘quantum dances’ in unison

A team of Cambridge researchers have found a way to control the sea of nuclei in semiconductor quantum dots so they can operate as a quantum memory device.

They then showed they can control and manipulate the thousands of nuclei as if they form a single body in unison, like a…
