Sound drives ‘quantum jumps’ between electron orbits

Cornell researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially improve the sensitivity of quantum sensors and be used in other quantum devices.

X-ray of vibrating diamond yields new equation for quantum sensors

A research team led by Cornell mapped atomic vibrations in diamond and linked them with the behavior of the quantum system embedded within, an advance that will make quantum sensors significantly more precise than today’s detection tools.
