Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full ...

A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the center of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light scattered by the ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

Marking a major milestone for silicon-based quantum technology, the system has been installed at the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre The system integrates the company’s Quantum Processing Unit ...

Quantum computers are beginning to become powerful tools for studying some of the most fundamental forces in the universe – and some of the trickiest to understand. Two experiments have used them to ...
