A team of researchers from the Department of Applied Physics and the Center for Nanoscience and

Nanotechnology, led by Prof. Ori Katz, has developed a simple method for protecting atoms from information loss a key challenge in quantum technologies. With the help of just one laser beam, they were able to keep the spin of the atoms stable over time. The findings, which could significantly improve the performance of quantum sensors and advanced memory systems, were published in Physical Review Letters.
