A team of quantum physicists at Aalto University led by Dr. Sorin Paraoanu managed to tame a so-called "dark state", created in a superconducting qubit. A superconducting qubit is an artificial atom fabricated on a silicon chip as an electrical circuit made of capacitors and tunnel junctions. This technology is one of the most promising for the realization of quantum computers. http://www.alphagalileo.org/ViewItem.aspx?ItemId=161397&CultureCode=en Paper: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2016/160223/ncomms10628/full/ncomms10628.html
