Quantum information science is rarely taught in high school—here's why that matters
The first time I heard about quantum information science, I was at a teacher development workshop in Canada in 2008.

Non-perturbative interactions (i.e., interactions too strong to be described by so-called perturbation theory) between light and matter have been the topic of numerous research studies. Yet the role that quantum properties ...
Researchers from Delft established a way to address many quantum dots with only a few control lines using a chessboard-like method. This enabled the operation of the largest gate-defined quantum dot system ever. Their result ...
