Lasers can be used to lengthen quantum bit memory by 1,000 times by Asian News International Vocabulary Answers: 1) An electron cloud is electrons circling the nucleus of an atom. The atom by Science Weekly This is because randomness is inherent in the behavior of subatomic particles - remember the electron cloud from your high school physics.
