Embracing Variations: Physicists analyze noise in Lambda-type Quantum Memory

Embracing variations: UIUC physicists first to analyze noise in Lambda-type quantum memory
The quantum memory experiment Shinbrough and Lorenz are constructing. It is a cell designed to hold hot metallic vapor, an example of the Lambda-type optical quantum memories that the researchers analyzed. The photograph was taken while the cell was heating, showing molten barium at the bottom before it vaporizes. Photograph courtesy of Kai Shinbrough.
