Researchers have developed a monolithic ion trap aimed at making quantum simulations accessible to more researchers. Quantum simulation uses a controllable laboratory system to mimic complex systems that challenge even powerful supercomputers.
A study demonstrates a way to identify properties that can help light waves withstand defects in some optical systems. The method could accelerate searches for new electronics and optical technologies and support more reliable quantum devices.
A Phys.org headline says physicists have proved a long-suspected quantum speed limit for thermalization. The time an object takes to reach an even temperature depends on factors including its surface area, material and airflow.
Researchers demonstrated a hybrid photonic platform combining gallium phosphide with diamond. It is designed to control interactions between photons and quantum information carriers and could help connect quantum devices over long distances.
A hardware test of a quantum error-cleanup method cut errors 40-fold, addressing a key challenge in building reliable quantum computers.
A new high-frequency method is aimed at reading quantum states at ultrafast speeds. Faster readout could help accelerate the repetitive testing needed to develop and fine-tune quantum computers.
Scientists have achieved strong coupling between light and long-lived acoustic vibrations in an optical fibre for the first time. The Nature Physics findings could support new quantum signal-processing technologies.
Researchers have developed and tested a new locking method for gravitational-wave detectors. The method is intended to support upgrades that could advance discoveries of distant black holes and colliding neutron stars.
Researchers used the European XFEL to produce exceptionally short, record-intensity hard X-ray pulses. The technique could help examine electrons in atoms and molecules and may eventually enable control of electrons during chemical reactions.
A study shows how Maxwell’s demon can use concealed information to produce energy in microscopic systems. The thought experiment has shaped understanding of the link between information and energy for more than 150 years.
Researchers used physics-guided artificial intelligence to reconstruct internal magnetic patterns from measurements of external fields. The work addresses a challenge in studying nanoscale magnetic materials for faster, more energy-efficient computers.
Researchers at CIC nanoGUNE and the University of Santiago de Compostela found that adding or removing one molecule from a quantum chain can fundamentally alter how it interacts with a superconductor.
