Researchers develop optimal error correction algorithm
An illustration of how quantum error correction problems can be mapped onto an Ising spin-glass model. (a) The original syndrome measurement circuit. (b) The detector error graph with circuit-level noise.…
Programmable platform offers new ways to explore electrons in chiral systems
A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering transdisciplinary collaborations that…
First quantum-mechanical model of quasicrystals reveals why they exist
To calculate the stability of a solid whose atoms don’t repeat in a sequence, the researchers simulated scoops of quasicrystal that were randomly sampled out of a larger block. The…
