Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

Summary: Majorana qubits may offer a path toward fault-tolerant quantum computing by leveraging topological protection against decoherence. A new Nature study demonstrates single-shot parity readout ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new method for measuring how long ultrashort events like quantum tunneling to occur at quantum scale time.

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist ...

Drug discovery has traditionally been slow and expensive, often taking decades and costing manufacturers billions. Traditional methods, while advancing, are hitting limits in tackling the complexities ...

Quantum technologies have long underpinned modern foundational technologies, including lasers, atomic clocks, transistors, and semiconductor devices. Today, advancements in quantum information science ...
