Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Although the potential applications of quantum computing are widespread, a new feasibility study suggests quantum computers ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast off into space. But a team of researchers from TU Wien and their colleagues ...

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

IonQ's growth is poised to accelerate nicely thanks to the cost and performance advantages of its quantum computing systems.

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...
