Each summer, like clockwork, millions of beech trees throughout Europe sync up, tuning their reproductive physiology to one another. Within a matter of days, the trees produce all the seeds they’ll make for the year, […]
A research group from University of Tsukuba has discovered that fluctuations of electron spins in magnetic materials trigger a large anomalous Hall effect during phase transition known as the devil’s staircase magnetic transition. Click to […]
Insider Brief Quantum Circuits, Inc., announced an integrated quantum software platform that offers the user the ability to manage qubit error detection in real-time within their algorithms. The software builds on a more powerful quantum […]
While investigating how string theory can be used to explain certain physical phenomena, scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have stumbled upon on a new series representation for the irrational number π. It […]
The potential of quantum computers is currently thwarted by a trade-off problem. Quantum systems that can carry out complex operations are less tolerant to errors and noise, while systems that are more protected against noise […]
The so-called Casimir force or Casimir effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon resulting from fluctuations in the electromagnetic field between two conducting or dielectric surfaces that are a short distance apart. Studies have shown that […]
Quantum 8, 1380 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-06-18-1380 Committing to information is a central task in cryptography, where a party (typically called a prover) stores a piece of information (e.g., a bit string) with the promise of not […]
Insider Brief Google is opening up an academic research program with awards of up to $150,000 USD for projects investigating quantum transduction and networking for scalable computing applications. The company’s Quantum AI team is developing […]
Quantum 8, 1379 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-06-18-1379 There are several models of quantum computation which exhibit shared fundamental fault-tolerance properties. This article makes commonalities explicit by presenting these different models in a unifying framework based on the […]
Quantum 8, 1378 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-06-18-1378 We present a free open source package for high performance simulation and numerical investigation of boson samplers and, more generally, multi-photon interferometry. Our package is written in Julia, allowing C-like […]
