Quantum mechanics is not only of high interest in fundamental research. The current progress in quantum technologies promises numerous innovations of industrial relevance, which will be transferred into the economy within ...
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a way to swiftly and precisely control electron spins at room temperature.
Nanomaterials have the potential to improve many next-generation technologies. They promise to speed up computer chips, increase the resolution of medical imaging devices and make electronics more energy efficient. But imbuing ...
Quantum computers have the potential to break common cryptography techniques, search huge datasets and simulate quantum systems in a fraction of the time it would take today's computers. But before this can happen, engineers ...
If using a single atom to capture high-resolution images of nanoscale material sounds like science fiction, think again.
Scientists at the Swiss Nanoscience Institute and the Department of Â鶹ÒùÔºics at the University of Basel have developed a new method that has enabled them to image magnetic fields on the nanometer scale at temperatures close ...
University of Oregon physicists have combined light and sound to control electron states in an atom-like system, providing a new tool in efforts to move toward quantum-computing systems.
Quantum computers are largely hypothetical devices that could perform some calculations much more rapidly than conventional computers can. They exploit a property called superposition, which describes a quantum particle's ...
While a classical bit found in conventional electronics exists only in binary 1 or 0 states, the more resourceful quantum bit, or 'qubit' is represented by a vector, pointing to a simultaneous combination of the 1 and 0 states. ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº)—An effort by a combined team of researchers from Harvard and Ulm Universities has led to the development of an improved nuclear magnetic resonance technique that allows for better measuring the magnetic field ...
