Nov. 4, 2024 — Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to ...

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.

The principles of quantum mechanics represent the fundamental nature of reality—but a reality that is different from what we see in our everyday experience. We are accustomed to objects that ...

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 ...

Quantum technologies hold great promise for aiding national defence, by sharpening how countries collect data, analyse intelligence, communicate and develop materials and weapons. For instance ...

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 ...

A new proposal borrows from the principles of quantum mechanics and a technique called "wavelength multiplexing" to hypothesize an ultra-dense new storage format. When you purchase through links ...

Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short time scales. In the past, such events were regarded as 'momentary' or 'instantaneous': An electron orbits the nucleus of an atom ...

A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric. Until his dying days, the giant of 20th-century physics ...

Chinese researchers say they have become the first people to use a quantum computer to compromise the type of password-based security system widely employed in critical industries such as defense.

Scientists have built the smallest quantum computer in the world. It is the size of a desktop PC and can work at room temperature. The machine is powered by just one photon, or light particle ...

If the universe isn’t locally real, that has implications for what’s possible through quantum phenomena. For over 100 years now, quantum mechanics has rattled the cage of everything we’ve ...
