Professor Yasunobu Nakamura and his colleagues have succeeded for the first time in coherently coupling macroscopic magnons in a microwave resonator with a superconducting qubit. Since magnons interfere with the polarization of light, future applications include the relay of information between superconducting qubits and light. The results were published ahead of print in the July 9 (EST) electronic edition of Science, and appeared in the July 24 (Vol. 349) issue of Science.
