EPFL 's Mathieu Padlewski has built a novel acoustic system for exploring condensed matter and their macroscopic properties.

The acoustic system can be tweaked to study properties that go beyond solid-state physics.

It consists of a line of "acoustic atoms," essentially 16 small cubes connected to one another with openings to allow for the placement of multiple speakers or microphones.

The results are published in Physical Review B ..

"An acoustic quantum analog computer would be more like a crystal lattice," says Mathieu Padlewski .

"The acoustic approach to quantum computation has the potential to offer an alternate way of processing vast amounts of information simultaneously," he says.

The acoustic approach could offer an alternative way to processing vast quantities of information.
