Evading Heisenberg isn’t easy

Researchers unravel novel dynamics in the interaction between light and mechanical motion with significant implications for quantum measurements designed to evade the influence of the detector in the notorious ‘back action limit’ problem.

Building single-atom qubits under a microscope

IBM Research made a breakthrough in controlling the quantum behavior of individual atoms, demonstrating a versatile new building block for quantum computation. This is the first time a single-atom qubit has been achieved using a Scanning […]

About the Neutrino’s tiny mass…

Though this information is not directly related to Quantum technology, we think you’ll be delightfully pleased to read it… About a thousand trillion of these ghostly Neutrinos particles pass through our body every second but […]

IBM: On “Quantum Supremacy”

A very interesting paper from IBM Quantum Computing Team as an answer to the famous leaked preprint of Google regarding quantum supremacy. Some excerpts: Recent advances in quantum computing have resulted in two 53-qubit processors: […]

Weaving quantum processors out of laser light
