This was achieved by using a vaporized cloud of ultracold rubidium atoms to create a light trap into which infrared lasers were shone. The light was then constantly emitted and re-captured by the newly formed light trap.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/trendintech.com\/2016\/10\/10\/physicists-have-quantum-computing-a-step-closer-to-reality-by-stopping-light\/\">http:\/\/trendintech.com\/2016\/10\/10\/physicists-have-quantum-co...ing-light\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world of quantum computing is a minefield.
