A research result by Yale physicists lends credibility to an exotic proposal for safeguarding quantum information called topological quantum protection. A team led by Michel Devoret, the F.W. Beinecke Professor of Applied Physics and Physics, has applied the tools of circuit quantum electrodynamics to achieve the continuous monitoring of a quasiparticle’s spin.
