Biological networks are interconnected. Just as knowing the ingredients alone is not sufficient to understand how to prepare a dish, understanding only the list of genes or proteins is insufficient to comprehend how they interact.

How quantum computing can unlock understanding of aging and disease

Researchers Unveil Mass-Producible Quantum Memory Element

Within a dense system some terbium ions form pair states. Because of their unique properties, these pairs are blind to the single terbium ions nearby that would cause them to lose their quantum information. Protected from their messy environment, they can act as qubits with surprisingly long coherence lifetimes.

Solid-state qubits: Forget about being clean, embrace mess

THE SIMPLE INTERFEROMETER USED IN THE QUANTUM CHESHIRE CAT SCENARIO, WHERE A PHOTON IS PREPARED IN THE PATH-POLARISATION ENTANGLED STATE ECC, BUT IS ONLY CONSIDERED IF IT ARRIVES ON OUTPUT PATH + WITH POLARISATION D. THE PARADOX ARISES WHEN WE CONSIDER THE PHOTON’S PATH, POLARISATION, AND PATH-POLARISATION CORRELATION, WHILE IT IS INSIDE THE INTERFEROMETER.

Quantum particles can’t separate from their properties, after all

Physicists ‘entangle’ individual molecules for the first time

While errors are normally hard to spot in quantum devices, researchers have shown that, with careful control, some errors can cause atoms to glow. Researchers used this capability to execute a quantum simulation using an array of atoms and a laser beam, as shown in this artist's concept. The experiment showed that they could discard the glowing, erroneous atoms and make the quantum simulation run more efficiently.

A new way to erase quantum computer errors

The race is on for a new internet

Formed within wells indented into the stack of two different layered materials, a monolayer semiconductor and an anti-ferromagnetic crystal, the chiral quantum light emissions rise up out of the material and could be used for quantum information and communication applications.

New quantum device generates single photons and encodes information

In one design of the new superconducting device, the diode consists of a ferromagnetic strip (pink) atop a superconducting thin film (grey). The team also identified the key factors behind the resulting current that travels in only one direction with no resistance. Credits:Image courtesy of A. Varambally, Y-S. Hou, and H. Chi.
