Physicists have coaxed a cloud of quantum spins into doing something that should not happen in ordinary materials: they light up with microwaves and simply keep going. Instead of fading away, the ...

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar. For the ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

Rydberg atoms, characterised by their highly excited electronic states, have emerged as a pivotal resource in exploring quantum simulation. Their exaggerated electromagnetic properties enable strong, ...

Where do you see patterns in chaos? It has been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr. In a new paper published on ...

Physicists have found a way to study the inner workings of Josephson junctions without using electronics at all.

Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study ...

An analog-digital approach to quantum simulation could lay the foundations for the next generation of supercomputers to finally outpace their classical predecessors. Reading time 3 minutes Quantum ...

Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe. Pioneering research in quantum field theory around 50 ...
