Better info transfer marks step forward for quantum computing — GCNQuantum computers, on the other hand, are based on quantum bits, also known as qubits, which can be made from a single electron. Unlike ordinary transistors, which can be either “0” (off) or “1” (on), qubits can be both “0”…

The Making of Quantum ChessCantwell is a quantum physicist, quantum game developer, and more notably, the creator of Quantum Chess. Additionally, games are a promising tool for quantum education and inclusion because they have a lower barrier to entry than, say, a quantum mechanics course. During this colloquium, he explained…

How Scientists View Quantum PhysicsAccording to physicist Hugh Everett III, what happens is this: When someone makes a measurement of a wave function, they don’t collapse it, they become part of it. According to physicist Hugh Everett III, when someone makes a measurement of a wave function, they don’t collapse…
How a 1981 conference kickstarted today’s quantum computing eraQuantum computing is also a major area of research focus at other tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Intel, and Honeywell, as well as a bevy of startups. “What we’ve seen since then is this dramatic progress over the last decade, in…
Small drum beats in the laboratory “impossible” rhythms. This changes the picture across the boundaries of our worldOn the smallest conceivable scale, the scale of fundamental particles, the building blocks of everything around us, the world behaves very differently from what we are used to. Things can be in multiple…
Minuscule drums push the limits of quantum weirdnessTo circumvent that fundamental limit, the researchers “use quantum mechanics to hack quantum mechanics”, says Hoi-Kwan Lau, a theoretical physicist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada. Depending on how such a device is engineered, it could measure different types of force, such…
Schrödinger’s Cat Experiment and the Conundrum That Rules Modern PhysicsCats, Present, and Future Even if Schrödinger himself didn’t believe the cat theory was possible, modern researchers are trying to put some of these theories into practice. The cat, in turn, depends on this superposition, as we don’t know whether it’s…
Researchers confront major hurdle in quantum computingIn one paper, the researchers demonstrated a route of transferring information between qubits, called adiabatic quantum state transfer (AQT), for the first time with electron-spin qubits. Quantum computers, on the other hand, are based on quantum bits, also known as qubits, which can be…
Presenting… Valeria Saggio: Quantum physics for machine learningTogether with international collaboration partners in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and the USA, she was able to show that quantum technology can speed-up the learning process. Workshops, seminars, research excursions, retreats and summer schools contribute to a lively and international peer culture. Over…
