Unordered quantum computation: improved efficiency A team of physicists from the University of Vienna and the Austrian Academy of Sciences have demonstrated a new quantum computation scheme... Read more
An international team led by Princeton University scientists has discovered an elusive massless particle theorized 85 years ago. The particle could give rise to faster and more efficient ele... Read more
A team from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science, along with collaborators from several Japanese institutions, have successfully produced pairs of spin-entangled electrons and demons... Read more
Quantum computers are in theory capable of simulating the interactions of molecules at a level of detail far beyond the capabilities of even the largest supercomputers today. Such simulation... Read more
Using a computer game, a research group at Aarhus University has found a way to gain deeper insight into the human thought process. The results have amazed the research director, who has dis... Read more
Princeton University researchers have built a rice grain-sized laser powered by single electrons tunneling through artificial atoms known as quantum dots. The tiny microwave laser, or... Read more
Packing single-photon detectors on an optical chip is a crucial step toward quantum-computational circuits A team of researchers has built an array of light detectors sensitive enough to reg... Read more
Say hello to the world’s first solid state quantum hard drive. Storing data in a state of quantum entanglement could hold enormous promise for securing our online information, but righ... Read more
Two research teams working in the same laboratories at UNSW Australia have found distinct solutions to a critical challenge that has held back the realisation of super powerful quantum compu... Read more
Quantum computing will allow for the creation of powerful computers, but also much smarter and more creative robots than conventional ones. This was the conclusion arrived at by researchers... Read more
Weizmann Institute scientists take another step down the long road toward quantum computers Weizmann Institute scientists have demonstrated for the first time a photonic router – a quantum d... Read more
The proposed Microsoft computer is mind-bending even by the standards of the mostly hypothetical world of quantum computing. Modern computers are not unlike the looms of the industrial revol... Read more
The possibility of directly controlling quantum states may be important for possible future quantum computers. Superconductivity and magnetic fields are normally seen as rivals – very strong... Read more
A normally fragile quantum state has been shown to survive at room temperature for a world record 39 minutes, overcoming a key barrier towards building ultrafast quantum computers. An intern... Read more
