Scientists demonstrate a process called "magic state distillation" in logical qubits for the first time, meaning we can now build quantum computers that are both error-free and more powerful than ...
A clever method from Caltech researchers now makes it possible to unravel complex electron-lattice interactions, potentially transforming how we understand and design quantum and electronic materials.
In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?
Over the last few decades, it seems that every classical piece of technology has gotten a quantum counterpart. Of course, ...
Can you prove whether a large quantum system truly behaves according to the weird and wonderful rules of quantum mechanics—or ...
