Physicists have built a new type of digital-analogue quantum simulator in Google’s laboratory, which can be used to study physical processes with unprecedented precision and flexibility. Two ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...

The Aquila magneto-optical trap in QuEra’s facilities. Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in ...

An analog-digital approach to quantum simulation could lay the foundations for the next generation of supercomputers to finally outpace their classical predecessors. Reading time 3 minutes Quantum ...

Quantum technology has reached a turning point, echoing the early days of modern computing. Researchers say functional ...

Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...
