Scientists have developed a new way to read the hidden states of Majorana qubits, which store information in paired quantum modes that resist noise. The results confirm their protected nature and show ...

A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the microscopic mechanisms by which diamond surfaces affect the quantum coherence ...

Recently, researchers from the CAS Key Laboratory of Microscale Magnetic Resonance at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with Nanjing University and other ...

Chinese researchers have used a 78-qubit superconducting quantum processor to demonstrate that structured random pulses can hold off the chaotic heating that rapidly destroys quantum information. In ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum ...

We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...

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