Chip-scale 'acoustic atom' controls sound waves to imitate atomic energy levels and advance computing

Chip-scale 'acoustic atom' controls sound waves to imitate atomic energy levels and advance computing Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What goes up must come down. Physical laws like these govern all of the natural world—except for the tiny internal components of today's microprocessors, which operate according to the unique and complicated rules of quantum physics.
