Researchers have unveiled a new technique that they claim will make it possible to send, store and retrieve highly fragile quantum information, in an achievement that could break new ground in the field of quantum communications, and particularly in the future development of a quantum internet.

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, designed a method to better control the behavior of a cloud of atomic nuclei in which they had injected a single particle encoded with quantum information, also called a quantum bit. This comes with a noise problem: with every nuclei spinning in a different direction within the cloud, it is near-impossible to identify the particle carrying information.
