A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

Chinese researchers have used a 78-qubit superconducting quantum processor to demonstrate that structured random pulses can hold off the chaotic heating that rapidly destroys quantum information. In ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...
