Near the end of my last post, I made a little offhand remark: [G]iven the current staggering rate of hardware progress, I now think it’s a live possibility that we’ll have a fault-tolerant quantum computer […]
Overview In this special episode, host Veronica Combs is joined by Leland Miller and Mike Kuiken, members of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission. They discuss the Commission’s 2025 report on US-China relations and […]
Classiq, a quantum software company, has announced a joint demonstration with BQP, a quantum-powered simulation startup, and NVIDIA showcasing an advancement in hybrid quantum-classical simulation for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and digital twin workloads. The […]
In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley failed to measure the speed of Earth by comparing the speed of light in the […]
Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of a galaxy. Click to […]
Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical computers cannot handle. The achievement demonstrates a new path toward […]
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Technology Commercialization has announced a partnership between Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) and Qblox to manufacture and distribute the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK) in the United […]
Researchers have found a way to make “dark excitons”—normally invisible quantum states of light—shine dramatically brighter by trapping them inside a tiny gold-nanotube optical cavity. This breakthrough boosts their emission 300,000-fold and allows scientists to […]
Something strange goes on inside the material platinum-bismuth-two (PtBi₂). A new study by researchers at IFW Dresden and the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat demonstrates that while PtBi₂ may look like a typical shiny gray crystal, […]
Tinkering at their desks with the mathematics of quantum space and time, physicists have discovered a puzzling conundrum. The arcane rules of quantum theory and gravity let them imagine many different kinds of universes in […]
