Communication about quantum technology offers many opportunities (but there are risks too)

Ultra-miniaturized non-classical light sources for quantum devices

Heaviest Schrödinger cat achieved by putting a small crystal into a superposition of two oscillation states

Scientists at ETH Zurich have made progress in creating heavier Schrödinger cats, which can be alive (top) and dead (bottom) at the same time. Credit: ETH Zurich Even if you…

Study proves compatibility of two fundamental principles of quantum theory

Searching for stronger nonlocality using quantum computers

The comprehensive characterization of hydrogen at ultra-high pressures

Sequence of high-pressure hydrogen phases in the 300–600 GPa pressure range, according to the team’s theoretical calculations. The researchers report a projection of the structures on the a-b plane and…

New insights into quantum materials

(a) Pictorial view of the starlike lattice reconstruction in the CDW phase of 1T−TaSe2. (b) Surface-projected Brillouin zone (BZ) of the undistorted “normal” state. The red dashed lines mimic the Fermi surface…
