Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

For the past six years, Los Alamos National Laboratory has led the world in trying to understand one of the most frustrating barriers that faces variational quantum computing: the barren plateau.

Reservoir computing is a promising machine learning-based approach for the analysis of data that changes over time, such as ...

A team of physics educators is focusing on a new approach to teaching quantum physics in schools. Traditional classroom teaching has tended to focus on presenting the history of the origins of quantum ...

Scientists, researchers and some big companies are eager to jumpstart the next generation of computing, one that will be far more sophisticated and dependent on understanding the subatomic nature of ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

Computers, the internet and digitization have been major driving forces of innovation over the last 50 years, but classical computing architecture has its limits. Quantum computing is emerging as a ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), a National Quantum Information Science Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, takes a science-first approach to exploring new ...

Technological devices are getting ever smaller, but as they approach the scale at which quantum physics matters, our understanding of how they interact with their environment evaporates. James Millen ...

Lately, I've been obsessively reading posts about quantum physics on the question and answer site Quora, where ordinary dullards such as myself ask questions like, "How is it possible for an electron ...
