Researchers make a quantum computing leap with a magnetic twist
This artistic depiction shows electron fractionalization—in which strongly interacting charges can “fractionalize” into three parts—in the fractional quantum anomalous Hall phase. Credit: Eric Anderson/University of Washington Quantum computing could revolutionize…
Electron tunneling associated with ferritin in vivo in the retina, the cochlea, macrophages and other tissues
Evidence of electron tunneling in neural tissue containing ferritin. Credit: Chris Rourk Electron tunneling associated with ferritin was proposed as early as 1988, but it is still viewed skeptically despite…
Researchers use light to make spins more efficient, easier to manipulate
“With light we can now optically address spins, which so far one could only learn about using magnetic measurements,” said Sascha Feldmann from the Rowland Institute. Credit: Kris Snibbe/Harvard Staff…
Novel ‘toggle-switch’ could lead to more versatile quantum processors with clearer outputs
This photo shows the central working region of the device. In the lower section, the three large rectangles (light blue) represent the two quantum bits, or qubits, at right and…
Physicists develop a novel quantum theory of light-induced matter
Schematic illustration of time-resolved spectroscopy for the light-induced phase of molecules proposed based on the new quantum theory. Emission signal is collected in detector after the laser pulses that excite…
