Researchers at ETH Zurich have realized particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms.

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn’t how fast calculations can be done—it’s how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

While conventional computers store information in the form of bits, fundamental pieces of logic that take a value of either 0 or 1, quantum computers are based on qubits. These can have a state that ...

Illustration of a system that produces the first optical lattice with sound. Light is pumped in through three sources—including via a digital mirror device (DMD) – and produces a supersolid of atoms ...

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

A team of Caltech scientists has fabricated a superconducting qubit on a chip and connected it to a tiny device that scientists call a mechanical oscillator. Essentially a miniature tuning fork, the ...

In 1913, legendary Danish physicist Niels Bohr created the Bohr model to help mankind understand what an atom looks like. Nearly a century later in 2014, scientists from Columbia University and Sweden ...
