Generating stable qubits at room temperature
Incorporating a chromophore in a metal-organic framework suppressed the molecular motion sufficiently to maintain the quantum coherence of the quintet state for more than 100 nanoseconds. Credit: Nobuhiro Yanai A…
Research offers insights into the metal-to-insulator transition without breaking symmetry
Credit: Yale University Metal-to-insulator transition—a process that turns materials from a conductor to an insulator—has been a crucial process behind microelectronic switches, nonvolatile memory, and neuromorphic computing materials. In many…
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…
