After several years of operation, the STEREO collaboration published the final results of their antineutrino studies. With their data, the researchers excluded hints for the existence of sterile neutrinos, an additional neutrino state expected in […]
“Suppose you knew everything there was to know about a water molecule—the chemical formula, the bond angle, etc.,” says Joseph Thywissen, a professor in the Department of Physics and a member of the Centre for […]
In a sunny lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, two starfish fought over their prey. Overlapping arms pinned a hunk of thawing cocktail shrimp against the side of the tank. Thousands of suction cups […]
The early 20th century saw the advent of quantum mechanics to describe the properties of small particles, such as electrons or atoms. Schrödinger’s equation in quantum mechanics can successfully predict the electronic structure of atoms […]
History of Quantum Computing Efforts in Australia Australia has a strong historical pedigree in the quantum technology sector. As a vanguard in research and development, the country is an exemplar of how research efforts and […]
Insider Brief IBM Australia’s $725 million deal with the country’s Digital Transformation Agency covers emerging tech such as quantum computing. The arrangement will allow government agencies to work with IBM on whether — and how […]
In 2023 Quantum will celebrate 6 years since the first publications! From that first batch of papers, the journal grew to nearly 900 published articles. This growth was made possible by our incredible team of editors, […]
One of the biggest achievements of quantum physics was recasting our vision of the atom. Out was the early 1900s model of a solar system in miniature, in which electrons looped around a solid nucleus. […]
Animals that produce many offspring tend to have short lives, while less prolific species tend to live longer. Cockroaches lay hundreds of eggs while living less than a year. Mice have dozens of babies during […]
Optical fibers are the backbone of our modern information networks. From long-range communication over the internet to high-speed information transfer within data centers and stock exchanges, optical fiber remains critical in our globalized world. Click […]
