Exotic quantum rifts have been created with charged atoms, and they exist in a superposition of being in two places at once. This is a first step towards better understanding the behaviour of such ...

Nov. 4, 2024 — Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to ...

A new proposal borrows from the principles of quantum mechanics and a technique called "wavelength multiplexing" to hypothesize an ultra-dense new storage format. When you purchase through links ...

From subatomic particles to complex molecules, quantum systems hold the key to understanding how the universe works. But there's a catch: when you try to model these systems, that complexity ...

Recent headlines have proclaimed that Chinese scientists have hacked "military-grade encryption" using quantum computers, sparking concern and speculation about the future of cybersecurity.

World's smallest quantum computer During a press conference held by the University on October 16th, Professor Chuu's team showcased their photonic quantum computer. Its features include room ...

Quantum computing is a next-generation technology that exploits the principles of quantum mechanics to execute complex calculations exponentially faster than traditional computers. Contrary to ...

The principles of quantum mechanics represent the fundamental nature of reality—but a reality that is different from what we see in our everyday experience. We are accustomed to objects that ...

Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short time scales. In the past, such events were regarded as 'momentary' or 'instantaneous': An electron orbits the nucleus of an atom ...

Nov. 4, 2024 — Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to ...

Quantum technologies hold great promise for aiding national defence, by sharpening how countries collect data, analyse intelligence, communicate and develop materials and weapons. For instance ...

Researchers in China say they've used a quantum computer to break RSA encryption. But that doesn't necessarily mean your emails or WhatsApp messages will be intercepted anytime soon. Encryption is ...
