A Diamond Quantum Bit Holds Data for Nearly Two Seconds at Room Temperature
To build a quantum computer, scientists first have to build a working qubit, or quantum bit, that is both controllable...
NIST’s Quantum Simulator Mimics Hundreds of Qubits Interacting
In a case that’s somewhat chicken-and-egg, one of the many reasons computer scientists and physicists are pursuing a working quantum...
In New Quantum Experiment, Effect Happens Before Cause
A real-world demonstration of a thought experiment conducted at the University of Vienna, has produced a result that is somewhat...
For the First Time, Electrons are Observed Splitting into Smaller Quasi-Particles
We generally think of electrons as fundamental building blocks of atoms, elementary subatomic particles with no smaller components to speak...
The Fastest-Ever Random Number Generator Conjures Digits from Subatomic Noise in a Vacuum
It was once thought that vacuums–like the vacuum of space–contained nothing. No particles, no sound, just empty darkness. But it...
By Delivering Qubits Alongside Classical Data, Researchers Move Toward Bringing Us a Quantum Internet
Is this the beginning of the quantum Internet? UK researchers have shown that quantum and classical data streams can be...
Researchers Entangle and Observe Eight Photons Simultaneously, Smashing the Previous Record
Like a long-distance romance, quantum entanglement is a fragile interaction; one moment, two particles can be sharing that special bond...
Your Nose Could Use Quantum Tunneling to Distinguish Between Similar Molecules
The olfactory sense has long been thought to stem from the way a battery of chemical receptors in the nose...
As if Quantum Teleportation Weren’t Spooky Enough, Physicists Propose ‘Time Teleportation’
As if the idea ideas of quantum entanglement and time travel weren’t difficult enough to wrap one’s head around separately,...
Upgrading Your Quantum Memory? Don’t Forget the Crystals
Quantum communication offers myriad advantages over conventional fiber optic networking, but manipulating electrons or photons to behave in the proper...
