When the Indian Air Force’s Tejas fighter jet exploded into a ball of fire at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport on Friday afternoon, families watching the airshow witnessed something no one ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dirac fermions have been studied intensively in condensed matter physics in recent years. Many theoretical predictions critically depend on the number of valleys where the Dirac fermions are realized.

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
