Scientists have finally figured out how to read ultra-secure Majorana qubits—bringing robust quantum computing a big step closer. “This is a crucial advance,” says Ramón Aguado, a CSIC researcher at ...

Quantum computing seems to pop up in the news pretty often these days. You’ve probably seen quantum chips gracing your feeds and their odd, steampunk-ish cooling systems in the pages of magazines and ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

Quantum computing has long held promise as the next era in information processing, with applications in drug discovery, finance, and encryption. But it’s only in recent years that the technology has ...

Scientists have developed a new way to read the hidden states of Majorana qubits, which store information in paired quantum ...

For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the reach of supercomputers. But its practical use has remained elusive. That’s ...

Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics—the physics governing particles at atomic and subatomic scales—to process information in totally different ways from today’s digital computers. Instead of ...

By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

In the life sciences and healthcare industries, the speed of innovation impacts how soon new products, medications and treatments make it to market—and, in turn, how quickly people are able to benefit ...
