This mind-bending property offers a sought-after benefit: Information stored in the phase is far more protected against errors than with alternative setups currently used in quantum computers. As a ...

The neurons of our brain may not exist in a single state of matter, new research suggests. As detailed in a study, published in the journal Communications Physics, researchers have found signs that ...

Through the looking glass: The world of quantum physics and quantum computing is challenging for most people to wrap their heads around. I have read a fair number of books on the subjects, but the ...

A new ordered phase of matter has been discovered by Caltech researchers, which has big implications for superconductors – materials that conduct electricity with no resistance. The team thinks that ...

Researchers used a 58-qubit quantum processor to realize and probe a Floquet topological phase, revealing exotic non-equilibrium matter beyond classical reach. (Nanowerk News) Unlike conventional ...
