For nearly a century, some of the strangest questions in physics have revolved around how quantum objects move, interact and ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes in solids. In ultracold quantum gases, these quasiparticles can be reproduced and studied. Now scientists have been able to observe in ...

Quantum statistics has long provided the theoretical framework for understanding the behaviour of particles at microscopic scales, traditionally delineated by Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac ...

The study of quantum chaos reveals its early emergence in quantum processors, affecting information scrambling and the ...

The company’s surface code technique allows its quantum bits to faithfully store and manipulate data for longer, which could pave the way for useful quantum ...

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape ...

Compared with traditional GPU-based computing, quantum computing has the potential to perform far more complex tasks more quickly and cheaply. Data centers are draining more electricity from global ...

Scientists have improved their ability to send quantum information across distant computers — and have taken another step toward the network of the future. By Cade Metz From Santa Barbara, Calif., to ...

One of the secrets to building the world’s most powerful computer is probably perched by your bathroom sink. At IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York State’s Westchester County, ...

Microchips for quantum processors shown in a clean room laboratory at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig, Germany. Quantum computers, like fusion reactors and personalized ...
