Traditional computers rely on binary bits for computation, while quantum computers utilize quantum bits that have superposition properties. The research team chose atoms as carriers for quantum bits ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to ...

Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...

(Nanowerk News) In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team from Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea's IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) developed a quantum sensor ...

In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team has developed a quantum sensor capable of detecting minute magnetic fields at the atomic length scale. This pioneering work realizes a long ...

A comparative illustration of the performance between a conventional STM image (left) and an image obtained with the developed quantum sensor (right). When observing atoms with a conventional STM, ...

One notable example is the $34 million secured by British quantum algorithms specialist Phasecraft from a group of investors, ...

Researchers investigating atomic-scale phenomena impacting next-generation electronic and quantum devices have captured the first microscopy images of atomic thermal vibrations - revealing a new type ...

ColdQuanta, a Colorado-based quantum-computing startup, announced Tuesday that it has raised $110 million in new funding to build quantum applications for technology such as atomic clocks, sensors and ...

In 1927, Oppenheimer published a paper called “On the Quantum Theory of Molecules” with his research adviser Max Born. This paper outlined what is commonly referred to as the Born-Oppenheimer ...
