2Quantum electronics — is the area of physics dealing with the effects of quantum mechanics on the behaviour of electrons in matter, and their interactions with photons.It is today rarely considered a subfield in its own right, as it has been absorbed by other fields:… …
3Stimulated emission — In optics, stimulated emission is the process by which an electron, perturbed by a photon having the correct energy, may drop to a lower energy level resulting in the creation of another photon. The perturbing photon is seemingly unchanged in the …
4Quantum leap — In physics, a quantum leap or quantum jump is a change of an electron from one energy state to another within an atom. It is discontinuous; the electron jumps from one energy level to another instantaneously. The phenomenon contradicts classical… …
5stimulated emission — /ˌstɪmjəleɪtəd əˈmɪʃən/ (say .stimyuhlaytuhd uh mishuhn) noun the process by which a photon is emitted by an atom in an excited quantum state, as the result of previous excitation of the system. It is on this principle that masers and lasers work …
6Trapped ion quantum computer — A Trapped ion quantum computer is a type of quantum computer. Ions, or charged atomic particles, can be confined and suspended in free space using electromagnetic fields. Qubits are stored in stable electronic states of each ion, and quantum… …
7Sound Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation — A SASER is the acoustic analogue of the laser. It is capable of producing highly coherent, concentrated beams of ultrasound, using methods very similar to those employed in the laser. Though currently only theoretical, the SASER is being… …
