Scientists crack a 60-year-old quantum mystery
Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have created a novel pathway into the study of the elusive quantum states in superconducting vortices. The existence of these was…
This simple magnetic trick could change quantum computing forever
The entry of quantum computers into society is currently hindered by their sensitivity to disturbances in the environment. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Aalto University and…
How scientists made quantum dots smarter and cheaper
Quantum dots – semiconductor nanostructures that can emit single photons on demand – are considered among the most promising sources for photonic quantum computing. However, every quantum dot is slightly…
Scientists capture the secret quantum dance of atoms for the first time
Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world: According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, it’s like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone…
Einstein was wrong: MIT just settled a 100-year quantum debate
MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light.…
MIT Just Proved Einstein Wrong in the Famous Double-Slit Quantum Experiment
Physicists at MIT conducted a precise version of the renowned double slit quantum experiment, which challenges Einstein’s objections to quantum mechanics. With the help of ultracold atoms and single photons,…
Quantum tunneling mystery solved after 100 years—and it involves a surprise collision
Recently, Professor Dong Eon Kim from POSTECH’s Department of Physics and Max Planck Korea-POSTECH Initiative and his research team have succeeded in unraveling for the first time the mystery of…
Harvard’s ultra-thin chip could revolutionize quantum computing
New research shows that metasurfaces could be used as strong linear quantum optical networks This approach could eliminate the need for waveguides and other conventional optical components Graph theory is…
Tiny quantum drumhead sends sound with 1-in-a-million loss—poised to rewrite tech
When a drummer plays a drum, she sets the drumhead into vibration by hitting it. The vibration contains a signal that we can decode as music. When the drumhead stops…
Breakthrough battery lets physicists reverse entanglement—and rewrite quantum law
Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum…
