Rice scientists and collaborators were able to prolong quantum behavior in an experimental system nearly 30-fold by using ultracold temperatures and laser wavelengths to generate a "magic trap" that ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Making quantum computers fault-tolerant (and scaling effective error correction to enable this) is a key ...

In a major accomplishment for quantum mechanics research, scientists at Durham University in the UK have achieved the first-ever quantum entanglement of molecules. The team used precisely controlled ...

The development of quantum computers will make everything "happen better", a researcher at a top university has said. A team from Oxford University’s department of physics are among researchers from ...

By inserting tiny imperfections into the stones, scientists open up possibilities in computing, encryption and sensors ...

Regardless of the answers, the era of entanglement under infinite book‐keeping is giving way to an era of entanglement under limited books, limited clocks and limited gates. And in this more realistic ...

We’ve had quantum science on our minds all year long, courtesy of 2025 being UNESCO’s International Year of Quantum Science ...

This is the seventh and final installment in our series exploring the guiding principles of the 2025 International Year of Quantum. As we reach the crescendo of our journey through the eight guiding ...
