In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, it will eventually evenly mix. If you put a glass of ice water on the ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of thousands more. Quantum computers will only surpass classical machines if they ...

The research and development arm of telco Deutsche Telekom has worked with Qunnect to demo quantum networking over 30km of optical fibre ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart of a proton—oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states for ...

A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new ...

BOSTON, July 14, 2025 — A team of scientists from QuEra Computing, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has reported the experimental demonstration of magic state ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – In the future, quantum computers could rapidly simulate new materials or help scientists develop faster machine-learning models, opening the door to many new possibilities. But these ...

Coupling between artificial atoms and photons processes quantum information in nanoseconds. Strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in a quantum circuit. Researchers at MIT, Cambridge, Mass., say they ...
