Physicists create the first fully mechanical qubit

A team of physicists at ETH Zürich has built the first-ever working mechanical qubit. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their novel idea for creating such a qubit and how well it has worked during testing.Quantum Physics NewsRead More

New route to quantum spin liquid materials discovered

A new route to materials with complex disordered magnetic properties at the quantum level has been produced by scientists for the first time. The material, based on a framework of ruthenium, fulfills the requirements of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid state—an elusive phenomenon that scientists have been trying to understand for decades.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
