(Phys.org)—Once again, it was a good week for physics as a team of researchers found a quantum shortcut that could speed up many quantum technologies—they devised a new method for preparing quantum states for many-body ...
Imagine shrinking tubes and beakers—in fact, most of a clinical chemistry lab—down to the size of a credit card. When engineers figured out how to do that two decades ago, they enabled complex tests to be performed with ...
