When sand grains wedge together in a funnel, the whole column locks up. Something strikingly similar can happen to quantum ...

An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference can be a feature. That odd timing sits at the heart of a new theoretical ...

A theoretical paper posted to arXiv proposes that quantum coherence, the fragile property that powers quantum computing and ...

A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and ...

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the novel ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem is an important result in condensed matter physics. The LSM theorem states that a spin chain with half-integer spin and translation and rotation symmetry can not ...

For quantum computing to reach the point where it is fault-tolerant, scalable, and commercially viable, it’s going to be with ...

Quantum systems don’t fail quietly; they collapse in a flash. In less time than ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...
