Researchers found that gold “super atoms” can behave like the atoms in top-tier quantum systems—only far easier to scale. These tiny clusters can be customized at the molecular level, offering a ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers at Purdue University have opened a new frontier in quantum science ...

For two decades, a deceptively simple question has split condensed‑matter physicists: do the electrons in gold quietly align their spins, or is the metal as magnetically featureless as textbooks claim ...

An international research team has succeeded for the first time in measuring the electron spin in matter - i.e., the curvature of space in which electrons live and move - within "kagome materials", a ...

Stanford University researchers say they have developed a nanoscale optical device that could shift ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

A new discovery led by Princeton University researchers could upend our understanding of how electrons behave under extreme conditions due to the laws of quantum physics. The finding provides ...

A silicon-based nanoscale system which aims to harness the ‘spin’ of electrons to boost the processing power of future computer systems is being developed by researchers at the University of ...

As published Monday (Aug. 15) in Nature Materials, the research team used electron spin qubits as atomic-scale sensors, and also to effect the first experimental control of nuclear spin qubits in ...
