Researchers take ‘Significant Leap Forward’ with Quantum Simulation of Molecular Electron Transfer

A crystal with 171Yb+ -172Yb+ ions is trapped in an ultra-high vacuum system. The researchers use different lasers to perform the simulation: one pair of lasers (indicated by the purple arrows) is used to simulate the coherent part of the evolution, while another laser (the blue arrow) is used to simulate and control the environment.

Discovery could advance renewable energy technologies, molecular electronics and quantum computing. Researchers at Rice University have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer — a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes...
