Quantum physicists are edging closer to a kind of controlled transmutation, not of lead into gold, but of one electronic reality into another. By steering exotic entities called excitons, researchers ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Quantum computers promise to solve problems far beyond the reach of classical machines, from simulating new materials to ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

Researchers have designed a new device that can efficiently create multiple frequency-entangled photons, a feat that cannot be achieved with today's optical devices. The new approach could open a path ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...

Long-range couplings between lattice sites algorithmically speed up the efficiency of quantum walks. Scientists in China propose to construct one-dimension discrete-time quantum walk (1D DTQW) in ...

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in semiconductor heterostructures, particularly in quantum wells and two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs), has emerged as a pivotal mechanism in spintronics and quantum ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Quantum systems can simulate molecular interactions at a level of fidelity that classical computers cannot achieve. They can ...
