Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize computing by solving specific computational problems at a much faster rate than ordinary computers. These machines utilize quantum properties and are built using quantum-bits or qubits. Qubits can be created using various physical platforms, such as nuclear spins, trapped ions, cold atoms, photons, and superconducting Josephson circuits. However,
The intricacies of quantum spin liquids have long puzzled scientists, posing significant challenges for understanding their behavior and properties. Unlike everyday liquids such as water or juice, quantum spin liquids are closely associated with specialized magnets and the unique manner in which they spin. While conventional magnets freeze and solidify as the temperature drops, the
As our universe progresses, scientists have anticipated that large cosmic structures would grow at a specific rate. According to Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, dense regions such as galaxy clusters would become denser, while the voids of space would become emptier. However, researchers at the University of Michigan have made a fascinating discovery that challenges
The field of quantum imaging is gaining momentum as researchers discover its advantages over classical protocols. A recent report published in Science Advances by Jorge Fuenzalida and a team from Germany explores the use of quantum imaging with undetected light (QIUL) to generate high-quality images of objects while remaining resilient to noise. This article aims
Quantum technology holds the key to unlocking the full potential of fascinating quantum mechanics concepts. One such concept is high-dimensional quantum states, which serve as the building blocks for quantum information science and quantum technology. Scientists have been searching for ways to manipulate these states effectively, and they have turned to the properties of light,
Quantum computers, the cutting-edge technology that utilizes quantum mechanical phenomena for performing computational tasks, have the potential to surpass classical computers in complex problem-solving and optimization. While some quantum computers have demonstrated impressive results, their superiority over classical computers still lacks consistent and conclusive evidence. Recently, Ramis Movassagh, a researcher at Google Quantum AI and
Non-perturbative interactions, which refer to interactions that are too strong to be described by perturbation theory, have long intrigued researchers in the field of light and matter. However, the quantum properties of light and their influence on these interactions have largely remained unexplored. In a recent study published in Nature Physics, researchers at the Technion–Israel
The world around us is filled with a myriad of materials, some of which are susceptible to change. Radioactive decay is a natural phenomenon wherein certain materials break down to form more stable isotopes. In a groundbreaking study, scientists have unearthed a previously unknown decay mode. Oxygen-13, a lighter variation of oxygen consisting of eight
Nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the stars, has long been proposed as a potential solution for the world’s growing energy needs. Unlike current nuclear fission plants, fusion facilities have the potential to generate clean and renewable energy without producing radioactive waste.
