Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize the field of computing, with their ability to perform complex operations that classical computers simply cannot handle. However, one of the biggest hurdles in making quantum computers practical is the vulnerability of quantum superpositions to errors. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing have taken a significant
Quantum computers, with their ability to leverage quantum mechanical phenomena, hold the promise of outperforming classical computers in complex computational and optimization problems. While some quantum computers have achieved impressive results in specific tasks, their advantage over classical computers has yet to be conclusively and consistently demonstrated. However, a recent theoretical study conducted by Ramis
Non-perturbative interactions between light and matter have long been a subject of interest for researchers. These interactions involve the quantum properties of light and the phenomena that arise from them. However, the understanding of these phenomena has been limited, with each foundational theory explaining different aspects of the interactions. To address this issue, researchers from
The quest to understand the mysteries of dark matter continues to captivate physicists worldwide. Dark matter, which is yet to be proven to exist, remains a theoretical concept that serves as a placeholder to explain certain gravitational effects on galaxies and deviations from the Standard Model of physics. Over the years, numerous theories and experiments
The process of nuclear fusion, which powers the stars, holds immense potential as a future source of clean and renewable energy for humanity.
