Researchers and tech companies are in a global race to develop quantum computers that can solve hard scientific problems that conventional computers can’t, and that they hope can eventually support ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University, in collaboration with colleagues in South Korea and Taiwan, have discovered that a unique ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

A quantum bit inspired by Schrödinger’s cat has managed to resist making errors for an unusually long time in a quantum computing experiment. This may make it a promising building block for more ...

Scientists have developed a qubit platform formed by freezing neon gas into a solid, spraying electrons from a light bulb's filament onto it, and trapping a single electron there. This system shows ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart of a proton—oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states for ...

(Nanowerk News) With their superior properties, topological qubits could help achieve a breakthrough in the development of a quantum computer designed for universal applications. So far, no one has ...

Some kind of invisible material is out there affecting the motions of stars and galaxies, but thus far, no one has been able to directly detect the substance—called dark matter—itself. But some are ...

Built from a single erbium atom, a hybrid quantum bit encodes data magnetically and beams it through fiber-optic wavelengths. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
