Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic ...

The truth is that even the most optimistic vendor estimates for this would put very nascent stages of enterprise value toward ...

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially ...

Scientists at the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have directly ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Duplicating the information held in quantum computers was thought to be impossible thanks to the no-cloning theorem, but researchers have now found a workaround ...

Quantum mechanics — the breakthrough physics theory that paved the way to our modern understanding of atoms, molecules and light — is turning 100 years old next year. During that time, the theory has ...

Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid. That’s the idea behind a recent study published in the journal ...

Even if you’ve never set foot inside a physics classroom, you probably have a pretty solid grasp of the laws governing how objects move and behave. Throw a basketball against a wall and it bounces off ...
