Researchers observe a phase transition in a 1D chain of atoms using a quantum simulator
Gold electrodes create electro-magnetic fields that trap dozens of ions in a chain geometry just above the surface of the electrodes. Laser beams (not shown) then induce interactions between the…
Researchers develop first-of-its-kind quantum gate
High-fidelity Bell states synthesized within a single photon, where polarization serves as the control qubit and frequency as the target qubit. Credit: ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy A recent study…
Researchers uncover 1D-like spin behavior in a triangular molecular lattice, challenging traditional views
Credit: AI-generated image Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are fascinating and mysterious states of matter that have intrigued scientists for decades. First proposed by Nobel laureate Philip Anderson in the 1970s,…
World’s first scalable, connected, photonic quantum computer prototype developed
Photograph of the Aurora system. Credit: Nature (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08406-9 It holds the input lasers while the other three house quantum components divided into five main subsystems: sources, where the…
