Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, ...

In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, ...

When exposed to periodic driving, which is the time-dependent manipulation of a system's parameters, quantum systems can exhibit interesting new phases of matter that are not present in ...

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

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...

Atoms in the optical lattice, trapped at a distance of 0.5 micron, are excited to the Rydberg state by the ultrafast excitation technique. Interaction between close Rydberg atoms results in the ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...

French quantum computing company Pasqal has delivered a 100 qubit quantum computer to Germany’s Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As part of the HPCQS (High-Performance ...

…and Toshiba-Single Quantum collaboration doubles range of secure QKD communications. Quione glass cell with strontium gas cloud in the center. Quantum physics needs high-precision sensing techniques ...

MIT researchers developed a superconducting quantum processor comprised of 16 qubits which they can use to generate a synthetic electromagnetic field, enabling them to explore the properties of ...
