Skepticism about Microsoft results regarding robust quantum bits
Disorder in very thin nanowires can lead to measurement results that could be misinterpreted as evidence for Majorana particles. Credit: University of Basel, Department of Physics In March 2022, Microsoft…
Not yet tangible, but close
Numerical modeling results in a fraction-signature with typical pinch points (left) and should be observable experimentally with neutron scattering. Allowing quantum fluctuations blurs this signature (right), even at T=0 K.…
New skyrmion transistors propel quantum and AI research
Operation of a skyrmion transistor. a) Skyrmion transistor device geometry. The blue dashed box is a skyrmion channel. The red dashed box acts as a skyrmion generator and the green…

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…
