The group is working to stimu late an electron to be used as a tool for processing. This process, if successful, will one day enable people to search large databases in an increasingly short amount of time, Raymer said. “The larger the job is, the more you benefit from using a quantum computer,” he said. This is made possible by the fact that electrons can be in more than one place at one time. Raymer said physics theory sug gests that this logic gate is possi ble, but actually building the de vice might prove to be very difficult. Nilendra Deshpende, associate dean for the College of Arts and Sciences, feels this research pres ents exciting possibilities for stu dents of physics. “This quantum optics group is one of the strongest in the coun try,” Deshpende said. “Students can work with them and work on exciting projects.” David Foster, a graduate stu dent in physics, is one of the many graduate students working with Raymer on the project. “This is an inherently interest ing project with great job prospects,” Foster said. “The physics work is really interesting and new.” In order for the project to have optimum effect, it would need to take place in a vacuum in very cold temperatures. “The world is jiggly from heat,” Raymer said. “In order to keep an electron in one place for study it needs to be dry and cold.” In addition, many physicists believe the task of building a mi crochip that relies on such parti cles is challenging. In spite of these difficulties, Ken Hardin, the sponsored proj ect administrator for the Univer sity, said the project has received support from the Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation, which combined have given the project close to $1.5 million in federal grants. Raymer said the grant money with mainly go to equipment for the new lab he must construct. “The U.S. government mainly wants to know if it can be done or if there are laws of physics that prevent this project from succeed ing,” he said. Research for the project will be carried out in the Oregon Center for Optics in Willamette Hall. - Calendar Wednesday Jan* 12 EMU Board house meeting.
