Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street ...

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn't how fast calculations can be done—it's how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if machines could hear the world in ways far beyond human ears? For years, computers have been good at recognizing speech, canceling noise and simulating ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin drumhead-like membrane that lets sound signals, or phonons, travel through it with astonishingly low loss, better than even electronic circuits. These ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn't rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Quantum computing firm QuEra says it plans to make a fault-tolerant quantum computer and offer it to users through the cloud ...

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum ...

Quantum computers, which could handle massive calculations faster than current systems, are expected to make a big impact.

Quantum physics gets a bad rap. The behaviour of the atoms and particles it describes is often said to be weird, and that weirdness has given rise to all manner of esoteric notions – that we live in a ...
