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...
Xanadu Targets Cancer Drug Discovery With Quantum Computing
Some cancer treatments target tumors with light. Photodynamic therapy utilizes photosensitizers, which are compounds that remain dormant in tissue until...
Physicists Built a Controllable Quantum Fluid Inside a Chip
A Bose-Einstein condensate is sometimes called the fifth state of matter: cool a cloud of particles enough and they stop...
A Chinese Team Squeezed a 16-Qubit State Out of Just Four Photons
Photonic quantum computing runs on a resource that’s maddeningly hard to make: entangled photons. Photon sources are inefficient, and the...
Pasqal Put the Lasers That Trap Its Atoms Onto a Chip
A neutral-atom quantum computer holds each of its qubits in a cage made of light. Focused laser beams called optical...
Physicists Turned Quantum Computing’s Worst Enemy Into a Way to Make Entanglement
Ask anyone building a quantum machine what they fear most and the answer is dissipation: the slow leak of energy...
Scientists Made Entangled Photons With Sunlight, No Laser Needed
For as long as anyone has built quantum light, the rule was simple: to make a pair of entangled photons,...
Spooky Signals Survived a Trip Through Maryland’s Messiest Fiber
Entanglement is the strangest resource in physics and one of the most delicate. Two photons can share a single quantum...
Quantum Source’s Plan: Photons Carry the Information, Atoms Do the Linking
Every approach to a useful quantum computer is trying to clear the same bar: error correction good enough to run...
