Google Quantum AI braids non-Abelian anyons for the first time
Topological quantum computations are accomplished by entwining the world-lines of non-Abelian anyons. Credit: Google Quantum AI Our intuition tells us that it should be impossible to see whether two identical…
Detecting Neutrinos from Nuclear Reactors with Water
The Science Neutrinos are subatomic particles that interact with matter extremely weakly. They are produced in many types of radioactive decays, including in the core of the Sun and in nuclear reactors. Neutrinos…
