A new study has revealed how tiny imperfections and vibrations inside a promising quantum material could be used to control ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

Photon-number-resolving detection of quantum states of light by transition edge sensors. Machine learning methods can be used to improve the sensors' detection rate, while maintaining high efficiency, ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

With its ability to enhance predictive accuracy, quantum computing may significantly lower R&D costs in pharmaceuticals by reducing candidate failures.

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterisation of quantum systems time-consuming. Furthermore, when a quantum system is measured, it is destroyed in the process. A ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...
