This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these ...

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

Quantum field theory says true nothingness doesn’t exist; even a vacuum teems with energy fields that help create matter and ...

Quantum computers are incredible, but they come with a big challenge: keeping errors under control. At the heart of the issue is the qubit—the quantum version of a bit. While qubits are key to quantum ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom-thin insulator that can be easily switched into a superconductor. The research promises ...

While most people associate quantum technology with futuristic computers, the Colorado-based company Infleqtion is ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

Dark matter is an elusive form of matter that almost never emits, absorbs or reflects light, while only weakly interacting with regular matter. These properties make it very difficult to detect using ...

Faithful simulations of the world are impossible to create using ordinary computers. Simulating physical reality is, however, the original, express purpose of quantum computers. In 1981, long before ...

An emerging generation of quantum sensors are capable of performing tasks such as detecting the magnetic fields of thoughts with unprecedented levels of sensitivity. Now, the European Space Agency ...
