Ultra-strong interaction between light and matter realized: One more step on the path to quantum computers

Ultra-strong interaction between light and matter realized: One more step on the path to quantum computers: "ScienceDaily (July 30, 2010) — Researchers around the world are working on the development of quantum computers that will be vastly superior to present-day computers. The strong coupling of quantum bits with light quanta plays a pivotal role. Professor Rudolf Gross, a physicist at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), and his team of researchers have now realized an extremely strong interaction between light and matter that may represent a first step in this direction."
