They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

Technique lays the groundwork for neutral-atom quantum computers with more than 100 000 qubits, say physicists ...

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

Gov. Wes Moore (D), who calls quantum computing a “lighthouse industry” for Maryland, has secured more than $1 billion in ...

Neutral-atom quantum computing offers groundbreaking opportunities in quantum simulations, optimization, and machine learning, driven by its scalability, room-temperature operation, and reduced ...
