When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, physicists have talked about quantum distance, a way of measuring how similar or different two quantum states are. In ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

Both silicon spin qubits and electrons-on-helium platforms approaches are promising for semiconductor CMOS-compatible quantum computing: silicon spin qubits use electrons in silicon and can be made ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create.

Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers ...

First experimental proof of a new quantum phenomenon. (Nanowerk News) A previously unseen quantum phenomenon first predicted several years ago has been experimentally demonstrated by an international ...

A new class of quantum-engineered photocatalytic material can split ordinary water into clean hydrogen fuel using nothing but ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
