Physicists Use Cloud Service in Breakthrough Experiment
Physicists have successfully used Infleqtion's cloud-based platform, Oqtant, to conduct experiments on Bose-Einstein condensates, marking a shift in how theoretical researchers can perform experimental work. This breakthrough demonstrates the anomalous tunneling effect and was published in Communications Physics.
Why it matters
Cloud-based experimental platforms lower the barrier to entry for high-level physics research, potentially accelerating scientific discovery.
Ippei Danshita from Kindai University and Daichi Kagamihara from Chuo University used Oqtant, a cloud-based service for state-of-the-art physics experiments provided by the company Infleqtion in the USA, to successfully demonstrate the influence of the anomalous tunneling effect on the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) by operating a BEC experimental setup through the cloud. This is the first time that academic research results obtained using Oqtant have been published as a peer-reviewed scientific paper.
