Cnr Nano’s team realizes the first phase battery for quantum technologies

June 17, 2020

A classical battery converts chemical energy into a voltage bias that can power electronic circuits. Similarly, a phase battery is a quantum device that provides a persistent phase bias to the wave function of a quantum circuit. This key element for quantum technologies based on phase coherence as been demonstrated by Francesco Giazotto’s groupand published in Nature Nanotechnology.
