The Long-Awaited Promise of a Programmable Quantum Computer

Physicists have unveiled a programmable five-qubit processing module that can be connected together to form a powerful quantum computer.

Bump in Large Hadron Collider data has physicists electrified

In December, the ATLAS and CMS experiments reported what could be the first hint of a new massive particle that spits out two photons as it decays. Now, physicists are presenting their latest analyses, including a full investigation of this mysterious bump. Both experiments have come to the same conclusion -- the bump is still there.

Quantum knots are real!

The very first experimental observations of knots in quantum matter have just been reported in Nature Physics by scientists at Aalto University (Finland) and Amherst College (USA). The scientists created knotted solitary waves, or knot solitons, in the quantum-mechanical field describing a gas of superfluid atoms, also known as a Bose-Einstein condensate.

Photons carry messages from electrons over 1 mile

Physicists have used photons to communicate between two electrons through 1.2 miles of fiber optic cable.

Physicists Can Now Achieve Quantum Entanglement at Room Temperature

Quantum entanglement - the process though which particle's states become inextricably linked, despite being nowhere near each other, is usually carried out at incredibly low temperatures. But not any more: now physicists can perform the act at room temperature, which could have a profound effect on quantum computing and security.

Experiment records extreme quantum weirdness

Researchers from the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore and the University of Seville in Spain have reported the most extreme 'entanglement' between pairs of photons ever seen in the lab.

A living thing in two places at once? This quantum quandary test is limited | Science

A recent proposed microbe experiment based on Schrodinger's counter-intuitive theory would have a scale so small as to be almost meaningless, and other challenges such as consciousness also come into play

Pitt discoveries in quantum physics could change face of technology

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have made advances in better understanding correlated quantum matter that could change technology as we know it, according to a study published in the Nov. 20 edition of <em>Nature</em>.
