Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

What happens if you embed an ultrafast quantum computer inside a diamond (you know, aside from qualifying for sale in one of Tiffany’s catalogues and inviting “forever” computing quips)? Answer: You ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

Quantum computers are alternative computing devices that process information, leveraging quantum mechanical effects, such as ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have ...

Scientists have finally figured out how to read ultra-secure Majorana qubits—bringing robust quantum computing a big step closer. “This is a crucial advance,” says Ramón Aguado, a CSIC researcher at ...

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
