Quantum information theorists shed light on entanglement, one of the spooky mysteries of quantum mechanics
Two magnets oriented vertically can measure an electron’s vertical spin. After moving through the magnets, the electron is deflected either up or down. Similarly, two magnets oriented horizontally can measure…
Cryomodule Assembly Technicians Rev Up Jefferson Lab’s Electron-Beam Racetrack
Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, the underground Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) more closely resembles a racetrack than…

Atomic ‘GPS’ elucidates movement during ultrafast material transitions
Brookhaven scientists used their new ultrafast pair distribution function (uf-PDF) technique to explore the transition of a quantum material to a previously undiscovered material phase. The above schematic shows how…
Somersaulting spin qubits for universal quantum logic could enhance control in larger arrays
Spin qubits go trampolining to make quantum gates and couple to other spin qubits on the chip. Credit: Studio Oostrum for QuTech Researchers at QuTech developed somersaulting spin qubits for…
Optimization algorithm successfully computes the ground state of interacting quantum matter
Image illustrating how the quantum state is controlled by the parameters in the neural network. By tuning the parameters, one can optimize the NQS to approach the target quantum state.…
