Nov. 4, 2024 — Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to ...

After immortalizing the whirlwind of the last four years—relapse, intervention, recovery—in his award-winning stand-up ...

Researchers in China say they've used a quantum computer to break RSA encryption. But that doesn't necessarily mean your emails or WhatsApp messages will be intercepted anytime soon. Encryption is ...

A new proposal borrows from the principles of quantum mechanics and a technique called "wavelength multiplexing" to hypothesize an ultra-dense new storage format. When you purchase through links ...

Recent headlines have proclaimed that Chinese scientists have hacked "military-grade encryption" using quantum computers, sparking concern and speculation about the future of cybersecurity.

Nov. 6, 2024 — Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases.

The principles of quantum mechanics represent the fundamental nature of reality—but a reality that is different from what we see in our everyday experience. We are accustomed to objects that ...

The TEC 4 project makes use of resources including Berkeley Lab’s Perlmutter supercomputer, Microsoft’s cloud-based Azure Quantum Elements platform and NWChem, a computational chemistry ...

Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short time scales. In the past, such events were regarded as 'momentary' or 'instantaneous': An electron orbits the nucleus of an atom ...

Quantum entanglement is one seriously long-distance relationship. Quantum entanglement is a fascinating, counterintuitive phenomenon where two subatomic particles remain deeply connected, even if ...

Measuring disorder in the quantum realm is creating a bit of a mess. A mathematical study found that three different definitions of entropy that were previously thought to be equivalent don’t ...
