Abstract

An image of a single positively charged strontium atom held in an ion trap by electric fields has won a UK science photography competition organized by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

In the photograph on the opposite page we see a single mercury ion held nearly at rest in an electromagnetic “trap.” Physicists have seen individual atoms before, in arrays imaged by field ion microscopes and more recently by vacuum tunneling microscopes, but what we see here is different. It graphically demonstrates a physicist's ideal: holding a single isolated atom nearly at rest for careful examination.

Quantum Physics: UK must invest in quantum technology

Edwin Cartlidge

The UK is in danger of falling behind in quantum information – a field in which it currently plays a leading role. According to a new report carried out for the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), new funding is needed to confront an "explosion of activity in this field worldwide, coupled with generous levels of funding available to groups in the UK's competitor countries". Researchers in the field claim that a new £41m "basic-technology" programme, which was designed to fund research in quantum information, is now unlikely to provide significant extra resources for the field.
