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 ...

The powerful software can reduce the time needed to simulate reactions with large molecules from weeks to just minutes.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

The quest to create useful quantum technologies begins with a deep understanding of the strange laws that govern quantum behavior and how those principles can be applied to real materials. At 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 ...
