Image: Jens Meyer (University of Jena) - Researchers from the University of Jena and University of Florence, develop cobalt compound with special quantum properties In quantum computers, instead of electrical circuits being switched on or off, quantum mechanical states are altered. For this, suitable chemical compounds are needed. A research team from the University of Jena and the University of Florence has now succeeded in producing such a compound. A special feature of this compound is that its quantum mechanical properties differ depending on the direction from which the compound is viewed. "Directional" properties.
