Breakthrough shows promise for high-speed comms, financial and scientific modelling, real-time data analytics, and even AI.

Over the past decade, scientists have made tremendous progress in generating quantum phenomena in mechanical systems. What seemed impossible only fifteen years ago has now become a reality, as ...

A quantum harmonic oscillator—a structure that can control the location and energy of quantum particles that could, in the future, be used to develop new technologies including OLEDs and miniature ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Northeastern University, Google ...

Quantum computers lack useful functionality without the right algorithms to facilitate their operation. Currently, there are ...

Our two best theories of the physics of the universe – quantum mechanics and general relativity – often fail to agree. Physicists have been trying to unite them for over a century, and now, ...
