Exotic quantum rifts have been created with charged atoms, and they exist in a superposition of being in two places at once. This is a first step towards better understanding the behaviour of such ...

Oct. 30, 2024 — Researchers created a synthetic magnetic field using a superconducting quantum processor, which could enable them to precisely study complex ... A New Paradigm for Control of ...

Quantum entanglement is one seriously long-distance relationship. Quantum entanglement is a fascinating, counterintuitive phenomenon where two subatomic particles remain deeply connected, even if ...

Nov. 6, 2024 — Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases.

From subatomic particles to complex molecules, quantum systems hold the key to understanding how the universe works. But there's a catch: when you try to model these systems, that complexity ...

Quantum metrology uses quanta — individual packets of energy — for setting the standards that define units of measurement and for other high-precision research. Quantum mechanics sets the ...

Measuring disorder in the quantum realm is creating a bit of a mess. A mathematical study found that three different definitions of entropy that were previously thought to be equivalent don’t ...

In a potentially alarming development for global cybersecurity, Chinese researchers have unveiled a method using D-Wave’s quantum annealing systems to crack classic encryption, potentially ...

A team of Chinese researchers, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, has demonstrated that D-Wave’s quantum annealing ...

Recent headlines have proclaimed that Chinese scientists have hacked "military-grade encryption" using quantum computers, sparking concern and speculation about the future of cybersecurity.

Quantum computing is a next-generation technology that exploits the principles of quantum mechanics to execute complex calculations exponentially faster than traditional computers. Contrary to ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...
