First Tunable, 'Noiseless' Amplifier May Boost Quantum Computing, Communications

ScienceDaily (Oct. 20, 2008) — Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and JILA, a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado (CU) at Boulder, have made the first tunable “noiseless” amplifier. By significantly reducing the uncertainty in delicate measurements of microwave signals, the new amplifier could boost the speed and precision of quantum computing and communications systems.
