How Schrödinger's cat makes better qubits

Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to encode and elaborate data, meaning that it could one day solve computational problems that are intractable with current computers. While the latter work with bits, ...

Quantum effects detected in hydrogen and noble gas collisions

A Freie Universität Berlin research team headed by quantum physicist Professor Christiane Koch has demonstrated how hydrogen molecules behave when they collide with noble gas atoms such as helium or neon. In an article published ...

New scheme for qubit control in a multilevel system

A team led by Prof. Guo Guangcan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made significant progress in the research of multilevel quantum system tunability.

Q&A: Why is there so much hype about the quantum computer?

How far along are the quantum technologies? And what do we really mean when we use the word quantum? Senior Adviser Ulrich Busk Hoff has been conducting research into and communicating about quantum physics for several years. ...

Uncovering universal physics in the dynamics of a quantum system

New experiments using one-dimensional gases of ultra-cold atoms reveal a universality in how quantum systems composed of many particles change over time following a large influx of energy that throws the system out of equilibrium. ...

Curved spacetime in a quantum simulator

The theory of relativity works well when you want to explain cosmic-scale phenomena—such as the gravitational waves created when black holes collide. Quantum theory works well when describing particle-scale phenomena—such ...
