How a classical computer beat a quantum computer at its own game
An illustration of a quantum system that was simulated by both classical and quantum computers. The highlighted sections show how the influence of the system’s components is confined to nearby…
Scientists provide direct evidence of breakdown of spin statistics in ion-atom charge exchange collisions

Researchers use high-performance computing to analyze a quantum photonics experiment
Scientists at Paderborn University have for the first time used high-performance computing (on the right in the picture the Paderborn supercomputer Noctua) to analyze a quantum photonics experiment on a…
Room-temperature nonreciprocal Hall effect could heat up future technology development
The researchers deposited textured platinum nanoparticles, represented by red triangles, on a silicon semiconductor, represented by the blue rectangle. Electrons, represented by the white circles and arrows, asymmetrically scatter from…
