Wetenschappers controleren waterstofspins met droogijs voor quantumtoepassingen

Scientists at the University of Maryland have demonstrated controlling the nuclear spin of hydrogen molecules using dry ice, a breakthrough that could enable quantum applications without requiring expensive ultra-low temperatures near absolute zero. The discovery shows that dry ice, made by cooling carbon dioxide to minus 75 degrees Celsius, can manipulate quantum states by preventing hydrogen molecules from transitioning to their low-energy state. This accessible method could expand quantum computing and measurement technologies beyond laboratory settings, with potential applications ranging
