Researchers describe spin-boson systems to configure quantum devices
Many of today's quantum devices rely on collections of qubits, also called spins. These quantum bits have only two energy levels, the "0" and the "1." However, spins in real devices also interact with light and vibrations known as bosons, greatly com.....»»
Saltmarshes do store carbon, but their climate impact may have been overestimated
Saltmarshes, or tidal marshes, are able to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lock it away at a far higher rate than even forests on land. This has lead to them being championed as a nature-based solution to climate change. However, our r.....»»
