In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart of a proton—oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states for ...

Quantum computers hold great promise for exciting applications in the future, but for now they keep presenting physicists and engineers with a series of challenges and conundrums. One of them relates ...

'Quantum computers could help us probe parts of the universe we have never seen.' ...

On Monday, Nature released a paper from Google’s quantum computing team that provides a key demonstration of the potential of quantum error correction. Thanks to an ...

Scientists across the world are working to make quantum technologies viable at scale—an achievement that requires a reliable way to generate qubits, or quantum bits, which are the fundamental units of ...

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer ...

CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

For decades, computers have become faster, smaller, and more powerful. But even the world’s best supercomputers have limits.

The gemstone spinel, known for its vibrant colors resembling gems like rubies and sapphires, has now been shown to be capable of storing quantum information, making it a viable material in the field ...

Advancements in quantum computing threaten to break the cryptography of digital assets on blockchain if it fails to adapt and ...
