In a leap forward for quantum computing, physicists unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built as a proof-of-concept for the scientists' design, ...

Physicists may be using mathematical assumptions in many situations that forbid time from moving backwards – but that isn’t necessarily a reflection of quantum reality ...

M icrosoft has unveiled a new quantum chip named Majorana 1 which it claims will be able to solve major, real-world problems ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists developed new ways to control atom collisions using optical tweezers, offering insights ...

For a field that many have long considered decades away, quantum computing sure is getting a lot of buzz in Silicon Valley.

However, more proof that the chip will work as advertised will be needed to convince some skeptical scientists.

An international research collaboration has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 is perfectly spherical. The discovery challenges fundamental assumptions about ...

Microsoft has long been working on an alternative that could cut down on the overhead by using components that are far more ...

It's necessary to explore multiple computational strata—including those yet to be discovered—that will underpin the creation ...

Quantum computing is one of the hottest trends on Wall Street. Once limited to theoretical physics and government labs, it’s now capturing the ...

Earlier this month Vodeb and his colleagues published the findings of their cosmic bubble simulation in Nature Physics. Using ...

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it's true that much of what happens millions of light years away is large, there are ...
