Scientists have added a dozen new “species” to the growing “quantum zoo” — a term researchers use to describe the countless ...

There are a seemingly endless number of quantum states that describe quantum matter and the strange phenomena that emerge ...

Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid.

In that work, Meichanetzidis and his colleagues used a quantum computer to calculate knot ... a surface — but depend only on the knot’s topological type. In other words, the same knot ...

Physicists have successfully played a mind-bending “quantum game” using a real-world quantum computer, in which lasers ...

three members of Microsoft’s quantum team presented their work towards a topological quantum computer at the APS Global Summit in Anaheim. Last month, the team made waves announcing their first ...

Several of these quantum states were hidden, requiring the researchers to develop an innovative optical technique. The ...

Among them are states that could be used to create what is known, theoretically at the moment, as a topological quantum computer. Topological quantum computers will have unique quantum properties ...
