Hidden order found in a quantum spin liquid could lead to quantum computer advancement

Scientists have made yet another advancement in the area of quantum computers. An international team composed of members from the London Center for Nanotechnology, U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, among others, reported that they detected a hidden magnetic “quantum order” or “string order” that extends over chains of 100 atoms, or a length of 30 nanometers, in a ceramic without classical magnetism.
These findings, published last week in the journal Science, could help lead to the development of quantum computers and other materials at the nanoscale...More
