Quantum computers work by applying quantum operations, such as quantum gates, to delicate quantum states. Ideally, quantum ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.

A method for making quantum computers less error-prone could let them run complex programs such as simulations of materials more efficiently, thus making them more useful ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the universe in a completely different way than we do. Physicist Daniel Whiteson exp ...

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

The display comprises seven sculptures that are illuminated from two different directions. The result is two very different ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from ...
