While quantum computers continue to slowly grind toward usefulness, some are pursuing a different approach—analog quantum simulation. This path doesn’t offer complete control of single bits of quantum ...

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 ...

Harvard researchers bring the accuracy, sample efficiency, and robustness of deep equivariant neural networks to the simulate 44 million atoms. This is achieved through a combination of innovative ...

Imagine the concrete in our homes and bridges not only withstanding the ravages of time and natural disasters like the intense heat of wildfires, but actively self-healing or capturing carbon dioxide ...

Atoms in an optical lattice perform a "quantum walk" where they experience many different quantum phenomena, such as superposition or tunneling as they move around the lattice. Credit: Alex Downham, ...

The authors declare no competing interests. The research was supported by the Sydney Horizon Fellowship program, the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio program, the Australian Research Council, the US ...

In daily life, when two objects are “indistinguishable,” it’s due to an imperfect state of knowledge. As a street magician scrambles the cups and balls, you could, in principle, keep track of which ...
