Building useful quantum technologies—from sensors to computers—requires generating highly complex entangled states, in which ...
Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal ...
A team at the University of Chicago has discovered a surprisingly simple way to create powerful quantum states that are normally difficult to produce. By making small adjustments to the energy levels ...
Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers in some optimization and data processing tasks. However, quantum systems are also more sensitive to noise and thus prone to ...
An international team of researchers has found a surprisingly simple relationship between the rates of energy and information transmission across an interface connecting two quantum field theories.
Oxford physicists have created an entirely new type of Schrödinger’s cat-like quantum state using components that are ...
In the world of theoretical physics, some ideas solve a problem. Others reshape an entire field. Jainendra K. Jain's theory ...
Defying the laws of thermodynamics, experiments are beginning to show that a quantum state that is frozen forever might not ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
