| 1 | One branch of the field is quantum computing. | |
| 2 | The atoms merge; the quantum wave functions that define them combine into one. | |
| 3 | There is therefore an outward quantum pressure forcing against the constraining laser trap. | |
| 4 | Due to its tunability, this quantum cascade laser design could also increase the cost efficiency of some applications. | |
| 5 | If the universe has zero energy, then it could have been spontaneously created from nothing by quantum fluctuations. |
