For their quantum-field simulations, the authors of the PRL paper encoded qutrits on a superconducting quantum chip that IBM makes available to researchers, and that is normally used as a qubit ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

The Quantum Scholars program provides a fellowship and opportunities to help students learn about the quantum field, including connecting students with local industry and quantum technology. The ...

Current challenges include protecting the fragile states of quantum bits (qubits) from errors and unwanted interference from the environment. Three steps would help to spur the field. First ...

Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have recently announced prototypes of new quantum computing chips. Some physicists are skeptical that the field has advanced as much as the companies say. Scientists ...

the study provides a potential pathway to a unified theory of quantum gravity. Moreover, the G-field could offer new insights into the nature of dark matter, a long-standing puzzle in cosmology.

Thermodynamics and information theory have long been linked, particularly in the field of information ... they reveal that ...

Everyone in the quantum computing field is striving for more qubits, the quantum equivalent of bits — but integrating more qubits on a single chip is more powerful and less error-prone than ...
