Time can exist in superposition!
The work, reported in the August 22 issue of Nature Communications, is among the first to reveal the quantum properties of time. The flow of time doesn’t observe a straight arrow forward, but one where cause […]
IBM unveils first quantum-safe tape drive
IBM has unveiled a range of tools to help businesses be safe in the age of quantum computing, including the world’s first quantum-safe tape drive. IBM researchers, have been developing new ‘quantum-safe’ algorithms that can withstand […]
Quantum interference from sources 150 million km apart
Researchers witness quantum interference and entanglement between photons from sources 150 million km apart—the Sun and a quantum dot in their lab. The team managed to generate entangled states between photons from the two sources […]
Anonymous communication protocol for quantum networks
Anonymously protocols over classical networks have been achieved and implemented for long, but similar protocols for quantum networks have been still in development so far because facing implementation issues. The researchers team from the University of Oxford, […]
Scientists discover new state of matter
A team of researchers at the University of Buffalo at Wayne State University has uncovered a new state of matter (topological superconductivity) which promises increasing storage capabilities in electronic devices and enhancing quantum computing. They […]
A random approach to quantum simulation
A team of University of Sheffield in the UK could speed up the simulation of certain molecules using a random, not deterministic, sequence of operations. It may outperform other approaches when a molecule’s energy is […]
Quantum entanglement in chemical reactions
Scientists have long suspected that a quantum phenomenon might play a role in photosynthesis but without proof because such a phenomenon is difficult to identify. For the very first time, researchers have developed a way to […]
Technical University of Munich (TUM) moves towards optical quantum computers
The researchers team has succeeded in placing light sources in atomically thin material layers with an accuracy of just a few nanometers. This might path the way to optical quantum computers. (ElectronicsWeekly.com) Read more.
Scientists has performed an MRI scan of the magnetic field of single atoms
The team used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The ability to analyze the magnetic structure at the nanoscale can help in the development of new materials and drugs and moreover to characterize and control quantum systems. (Asian […]
Major step towards quantum computers
A team of researchers led by Osaka University have been able to demonstrate how information encoded in the circular polarisation of a laser beam can be translated into the spin state of an electron in a quantum […]
New images of the Majorana fermion drive a step closer to harnessing the mysterious objects for quantum computing
The team had been able to turn Majorana particles on and off. Next step would be to implement these particles on quantum chips and to manipulate them. (ScienceAdvances) Read more.
200 times faster than ever before: The speediest quantum operation yet
Physicists have built a super-fast version of the central building block of a quantum computer, completing an operation in 0.8 nanoseconds. (University of New South Wales) Read more.
Researchers build transistor-like gate for quantum information processing
Purdue University researchers are among the first to build a gate, what could be a quantum version of a transistor, with qudits. Whereas qubits can exist only in superpositions of 0 and 1 states, qudits […]
Scientists firstly realize all-photonic quantum repeater
It’s a long due problem for building a Quantum Internet. The Chinese research team has achieved to eliminate the need of quantum memory in a quantum repeater. That paths a new way on long-distance quantum […]
Quantum technology needs atomically precise manufacturing
Current semiconductor manufacturing equipment should not be the obvious choice to make quantum computers, whatever technology (superconductor or trapped-ion). Despite 10nm capability, these tools have for relative precision which is insufficient for quantum devices. Quantum […]
Universal Quantum phenomenon found in strange metals
Experiments suggest that exotic superconducting materials share a “strange metal” state characterized by a quantum speed limit that somehow acts as a fundamental organizing principle. The findings, reported in Nature Physics by a team working at the University […]
