If you watch the technology headlines you might think something called quantum computing is the Next Big Thing. In January, USA Today declared IBM’s new…

We all know very well that it is not easy to precisely locate in time the exact moment in which quantum computing began to make noise beyond the academic and…

Stanford has a new measurement technique for quantum dots. Uncertainty about the quality of quantum dots are holding back the use of quantum dots. Quantum dots…

One of the big limiters to today’s quantum computing systems is that while their superconducting qubits live in a cryogenic enclosure at less than 1…

Creating a scalable quantum computer will require the collective effort of many skilled and diverse teams. To reach that goal, over the past few years we have…

There are no objective facts in the world. This isn’t a statement about fake news. Rather, it is the implication of an experiment that suggests the nature of…

JILA researchers have made a long-lived, record-cold gas of molecules that follow the wave patterns of quantum mechanics instead of the strictly particle nature…

Quantum computing just plain sounds cool. We’ve all read about the massive investment in making it a reality, and its promise of breakthroughs in many…

Researchers in Singapore have built a refrigerator that’s just three atoms big. This quantum fridge won’t keep your drinks cold, but it’s cool proof of physics…

Researchers have created a new testing ground for quantum systems in which they can literally turn certain particle interactions on and off, potentially paving…
