In novel quantum computer design, qubits use magnets to selectively communicate
Researchers have demonstrated that qubits (represented by the spheres and arrows) can “talk” to each other through a magnet (represented by the rectangular solid) rather than through air. This technology…

A method to straighten curved space-time
One of the greatest challenges of modern physics is to find a coherent method for describing phenomena, on the cosmic and microscale. For over a hundred years, to describe reality…
