An international team of researchers led by the University of Surrey has proven the existence of the fabled multi-photon Fano effect in an experiment. Ionization is when electrons absorb photons to gain enough energy to […]
Quantum causal loops
Researchers from the University of Oxford and the Université libre de Bruxelles have developed a theory of causality in quantum theory, according to which cause-effect relations can sometimes form cycles. This theory offers a novel […]
Direct observation of the Pauli principle
Researchers at Heidelberg University‘s Physics Institute have recently observed the Pauli principle directly in a continuous system comprised of up to six particles. Their experiment could pave the way towards a better understanding of strongly […]

New quantum algorithm verifying quantum advantage in seconds
CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique / The French National Center for Scientific Research) announced today that scientists from CNRS, the University of Edinburgh, and QC Ware have successfully demonstrated that a quantum machine using a new quantum algorithm […]
New armour for fragile quantum technology
An international team of scientists has invented the equivalent of body armour for extremely fragile quantum systems, which will make them robust enough to be used as the basis for a new generation of low-energy […]
Brazil Quantum: A pioneering initiative
By the beginning of 2020, no initiatives were promoting and discussing quantum technologies outside the academia in Brazil. Also, unlike many developed countries, Brazil has not defined a national plan to develop Quantum Computing. There […]
China’s first Quantum Computer Operating System
Origin Quantum Computing Technology, a Chinese startup, launched the country’s first homegrown operating system (OS) for quantum computers. The new OS, named Origin Pilot, has been optimized for the resource management and parallel processing capabilities […]
