The year isn't over yet, but we've already seen record-breaking quantum computers, skyrocketing levels of investment, and demonstrations of real-world benefits.

The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

Electrons in a metal form a Fermi distribution in equilibrium with a phonon bath. These electrons can easily be driven out of equilibrium, for example, by applying Joule heating 4. A key feature of ...

The film discusses an experiment conducted by Professor Fredman and Dr. Madson, which investigates the heating of a copper target when bombarded by electrons. Using a setup similar to the Millikan ...

The first circuit of ultracold atoms has been unveiled by physicists in the US. The team has already shown how the atomic current in the circuit can be controlled precisely and believes that similar ...
