Multiply entangled: The new magnetic-field-free error correction method uses polarized microwave pulses to entangle the spin of a nitrogen atom’s electron with the ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the theoretically optimal scaling for magic state distillation—a critical bottleneck in ...

Physicists from Japan have taken to the skies to grow crystals in zero gravity. Helium crystals were grown using high pressures, extremely low temperatures (0.6K/-272°C) and by splashing them with a ...

Non-Abelian anyons provide a fascinating illustration of Anderson’s ‘more is different’ paradigm 1. These quasiparticles, which emerge from interacting collections of ordinary bosons and fermions, ...

Last week, physicists at the National Institute for Standards and Technology reported they'd cooled an object to a million times colder than room temperature. It was a record for the super-difficult ...

Zero-Error Systems aims to make cheaper and more reliable semiconductors for satellites and even automated vehicles, targeting a booming space economy. Electronics ...

Julien Bobroff is the author of "My Big Quantum Meccano". The book “My Big Quantum Meccano”, published by Flammarion, describes 11 of the most amazing discoveries in quantum physics. The setting for ...
