Scientists found a new way to improve the fragile and error-prone qubits that make up a quantum computing circuit — and it’s strange. The problem with traditional qubits, which are the quantum version ...

Quantum engineers are starting to think bigger, literally, as they look for ways to move fragile quantum information without ...

Quantum technologies are systems that leverage quantum mechanical effects to perform computations, share information or ...

Starlight and stardust are not enough to drive the powerful winds of giant stars, transporting the building blocks of life ...

ANN ARBOR -- In an egg carton of laser light, University of Michigan physicists can trap giant Rydberg atoms with up to 90 percent efficiency, an achievement that could advance quantum computing and ...

As tiny as they are, there's a relatively large amount of empty space inside an atom. Now, scientists from Austria and the US have filled in some of those gaps, creating a new state of matter in the ...

The universe is an astonishingly secretive place. Mysterious substances known as dark matter and dark energy account for some 95% of it. Despite huge effort to find out what they are, we simply don’t ...

There was a lot of excitement last year when the LIGO collaboration detected gravitational waves, which are ripples in the fabric of space itself. And it’s no wonder – it was one of the most important ...
