Among all the degrees of freedom of photons, orbital angular momentum (OAM) has potential applications in enhancing the communication capacity of quantum communication and precision of quantum ...

Here, we report a comprehensive study of the current-induced spin and orbital torques in Cu-based magnetic heterostructures. We show that high torque efficiencies can be achieved in engineered Ni 80 ...

Physics: Current Generated by the Quantum Hall Effect Has Additional Magnetic Properties Dec. 17, 2024 — The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an ...

One investigation was led by researchers at Harvard University and used Rydberg atom as quantum bits (qubits). The other study was led by scientists at Google Research and involved superconducting ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Electrons are incredibly fast. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing their behavior has been challenging. Now researchers have suggested a new method to make ...

A new study highlights how adding the right number of connections can keep quantum networks stable, using fewer resources than previously thought necessary, suggesting a scalable approach to quantum ...

The magnetic north pole has shifted over 400 km from Canada towards Russia in the past century due to changes in Earth's molten core. Scientists use the World Magnetic Model to monitor this ...

As the company dramatically points out, that number "vastly exceeds the age of the universe." Willow could solve the long-term commercial viability issue that Huang addressed. Quantum computing ...
