€2M Project Targets Quantum Memories for Longer Networks
The fundamental dilemma in quantum communication is a cruel irony: the very property that makes a quantum signal secure: its...
DOE Funds Brain-Inspired Self-Tuning Quantum Sensor Research
What if there was a light detector so sensitive it could register a single photon? Now, what if it could...
NIST’s Giant Photon Detector Cuts False Signals a Billionfold
For two decades, the field of superconducting photon detection adhered to a single rule: go small. Wires were continually shrunk,...
Study Maps 11 Types of Future Quantum Computer Users
Say there were a chemist and a bank executive approaching the same quantum computer. The chemist focuses on molecules and...
Caltech Quantum Simulator Confirms 40-Year-Old Prediction
For four decades, physicists could calculate the exact spacing between certain energy levels in quantum matter but couldn’t measure them....
Scientists Solve Decade-Old Topological Nanowire Mystery
For years, a peculiar rhythm appeared in experiments on topological insulator nanowires, its origin unknown. Now, a South Korean team...
Cornell Cuts Tantalum Qubit Fabrication Temperature in Half
Tantalum is an excellent material for qubits. This metal resists corrosion, retains quantum information longer than most alternatives, and is...
No, This Quantum Chaos Proof Doesn’t Threaten RSA
A recent mathematical proof concerning wave behavior in chaotic systems has been widely discussed online, often inaccurately linked to the...
Electrons Defy the Quantum Limit in Topological Material
When a magnetic field is cranked high enough, electrons inside a metal are expected to settle into their lowest possible...
Rice University Adds a Temperature Dial to Quantum Simulator
When something warms up, its electrons behave differently. This is obvious in a chemistry lab but much harder to replicate...
