Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize computing by solving complex problems that stump even today’s fastest machines. Scientists are exploring whether quantum computers could one day help streamline global supply chains, create ultra-secure encryption […]
Randomness is a source of power. From the coin toss that decides which team gets the ball to the random keys that secure online interactions, randomness lets us make choices that are fair and impossible […]
Insider Brief UbiQD has signed an exclusive multi-year supply agreement with First Solar to integrate its quantum dot (QD) technology into thin-film bifacial solar panels. The deal follows successful joint R&D and could scale UbiQD’s […]
Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left thinking something […]
A groundbreaking collaboration between Los Alamos scientists and Duke University has resurrected a nearly forgotten 1938 experiment that may have quietly sparked the age of fusion energy. Arthur Ruhlig, a little-known physicist, first observed signs […]
Insider Brief The EU-backed SUPREME project, coordinated by Finland’s VTT, aims to industrialize superconducting quantum chip fabrication over six years by creating stable, high-yield manufacturing processes accessible to European academia and companies. The consortium of […]
Insider Brief Columbia Engineering researchers have developed HyperQ, the first system to enable multiple users to run quantum programs simultaneously on a single machine using quantum virtual machines (qVMs). HyperQ dynamically allocates quantum resources through […]
Insider Brief Researchers have developed the first method for simulating a specific type of error-corrected quantum computation using conventional computers. The new algorithm enables efficient classical simulation of quantum circuits using Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) bosonic codes, […]
For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in various matter systems. These techniques allow for the controlled and reversible mapping of light particles called photons onto […]
Recent physics studies have found that light can sometimes flow in unexpected ways, behaving like a so-called “superfluid.” Superfluids, such as ultracold atomic gases or helium-4 below specific temperatures, are phases of matter characterized by […]
