The field of quantum computing has garnered immense attention due to its promise of faster and more efficient computational capabilities compared to classical computing. Unlike classical computers that process information in the form of binary bits (0s and 1s), quantum computers utilize quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of states between

The behavior of free electrons in water has been a topic of discussion in the field of physics for quite some time. When water comes into contact with radiation, free electrons are released from the water molecules as they ionize. However, the flow and behavior of these electrons between water molecules has remained a contentious

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames National Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have recently conducted a groundbreaking study on infinite-layer nickelates. This class of unconventional superconductors has captured the attention of researchers due to its unique properties. In their paper titled “Evidence for d-wave superconductivity of infinite-layer nickelates from low-energy electrodynamics,” published

The field of nuclear physics has always been focused on uncovering the secrets of the atomic nucleus. With the advent of new generation radioactive-ion beam facilities, researchers now have the opportunity to conduct previously challenging experiments and push the boundaries of our understanding even further. These facilities enable the discovery of new isotopes and the

The field of programmable photonic integrated circuits (PPICs) continues to make significant strides in processing light waves for computation, sensing, and signaling. Researchers at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea, alongside collaborators from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), have achieved a major breakthrough by incorporating

Semiconductor moiré superlattices have become a subject of great interest in the study of correlated electron states and quantum physics phenomena. Recently, researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) conducted a study to further explore these material structures and their underlying physics. Published in Physical Review Letters, their paper introduces a new theoretical framework that

Quantum computing has made significant progress in recent years with major players like Google and IBM offering cloud-based quantum computing services. However, there are still limitations that need to be addressed before quantum computers can fully replace standard computers. One of the main challenges is the availability of qubits or quantum bits, which are the

Experimental research conducted by a joint team from Los Alamos National Laboratory and D-Wave Quantum Systems has shed light on the paradoxical role of fluctuations in inducing magnetic ordering on a network of qubits. In their study, the team aimed to understand the behavior of quantum systems by exploiting a dense network of interconnected qubits.

The field of photonic integrated circuits is rapidly advancing, with a focus on miniaturizing photonic elements and integrating them into chips that can carry out calculations using photons instead of electrons.
