The unique qubits also connect light and magnetism at the quantum level, which makes them powerful potential building blocks for quantum technologies
The new portable test has the potential to distinguish different PFAS chemicals, including those on which the US Environmental Protection Agency recently put new limits
The researchers showed that while a classical, entanglement-free approach to these measurements would take 20 million years, their quantum, entanglement-enhanced approach took less than 15 minutes
New research has achieved deterministic phase control of the sound “particles” known as phonons, presenting a major advantage over photon-based quantum systems
By stabilizing a metastable form of sodium solid electrolyte, a new technique creates all-solid-state sodium batteries that retain performance down to subzero temperatures
Researchers developed a powerful new tool that harnesses electronic structure theories and machine learning to simulate transition metal catalytic dynamics with both accuracy and speed
