While entangled photons hold incredible promise for quantum computing and communications, they have a major inherent disadvantage. After one use, they simply disappear.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand times larger than normal. By monitoring how these giant “Rydberg” atoms interact with heat in their environment, researchers can measure temperature with remarkable accuracy. The thermometer’s sensitivity
The future of tin-based qubits is brighter thanks to breakthrough work by Stanford University researchers. Qubits are the fundamental carriers of quantum information, and scientists worldwide are engineering atoms to create reliable, long-lived qubits for processing quantum data. Quantum engineering is expected to accelerate advances in areas as diverse as medicine and finance.Quantum Physics NewsRead
In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere to Einstein’s special theory of relativity. The research is published in the journal Physics Letters B.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
