Using nuclear spins neighboring a lanthanide atom to create Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger quantum states
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a new quantum information storage protocol that can be used to create Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) quantum states. There is a great deal of…
Stable qubit is a prime candidate for universal quantum computer
PhD researcher is holding a PCB with two connectors and tweezers holding the quantum chip. Credit: QuTech Researchers from QuTech improved the so-called “Andreev spin qubit” in a critical way…
Wiring up quantum circuits with light
Artistic rendering of the experimental device with the beam optical photons (red) entering and leaving the electro-optic crystal and resonating within its circular portion as well as the generated microwave…
Uncovering universal physics in the dynamics of a quantum system
New experiments with ultra-cold atomic gases uncover universal physics in the dynamics of quantum systems. Penn State graduate student Yuan Le, the first author of the paper describing the experiments,…
‘Charge density wave’ linked to atomic distortions in would-be superconductor
This image shows the positions of atoms (blue spheres) that make up the crystal lattice of a copper-oxide superconductor, superimposed on a map of electronic charge distribution (yellow is high…
Curved spacetime in a quantum simulator
In the background: the gravitational lens effect, an example of an effect explained by relativity. With quantum particles, analogous effects can be studied. Credit: NASA, Vienna University of Technology The…
Quantum physics proposes a new way to study biology—the results could revolutionize our understanding of how life works
