- Quantum holographic storage: it works!
- Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated quantum holographic storage, shattering long-held assumptions about the information limits of matter. Moving into the sub-atomic realm, they permanently stored 35 bits in the quantum space surrounding a single electron. Moreover, the technique allows holograms to be "stacked" in 3 dimensions....

- The Emergence of Holographic Data Storage
- Nowadays it is imperative for organizations to maintain archival storage, but "Deep" archiving remains a great challenge. It is not always a feasible solution to keep disks powered on and serviced for up to 30 years or more. While backup tapes are removable and securable, they carry their own long-term...
