Researchers at the Center for Nanoscale Materials, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility, which is located at DOE's Argonne National Laboratory, have reported the cause behind a key quantum property of donut-like nanoparticles called "semiconductor quantum rings."  This property may find application in quantum information storage, communication, and computing in future technologies.
