The toy's special properties mean it could be useful in the development of quantum computing

The new method, called cycle benchmarking, allows researchers to assess the potential of scalability and to compare one quantum platform against another

Researchers open a new avenue to quantum computing with a breakthrough experiment: a large-scale quantum processor made entirely of light

In a uranium-based compound once dismissed as uninteresting, scientists watched superconductivity arise, disappear, then return under the influence of high magnetic fields

Researchers demonstrate their method of relaying information by transferring the state of electrons

Discovery arises from an experiment designed to bring together elements of the two big—but contradictory—physics theories developed in the past century

Device could eventually lead to smaller, more efficient quantum computers that operate by manipulating sound rather than light

Researchers have developed a method for making an ion display exact quantities of quantum-level motion

Research team achieves a major milestone in their quest to build an atom-scale quantum computer
