While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

Semiconductor processing is notoriously challenging. It is one of the most intricate feats of modern engineering due to the ...

Artificial intelligence has already transformed how we innovate, predict, and compete. Quantum computing promises to do the ...

A multinational team has cracked a long-standing barrier to reliable quantum computing by inventing an algorithm that lets ordinary computers faithfully mimic a fault-tolerant quantum circuit built on ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

Quantum computers still face a major hurdle on their pathway to practical use cases: their limited ability to correct the ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, ...

By making electrons behave as waves, a collaboration of researchers from Israel and China has produced light with quantum effects, a necessary step towards controlling quantum computers ...

The de novo design of drug molecules is recognized as a time-consuming and costly process, and computational approaches have been applied in each stage of the drug discovery pipeline. Variational ...
