With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to ...

A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and ...

Photon-number-resolving detection of quantum states of light by transition edge sensors. Machine learning methods can be used to improve the sensors' detection rate, while maintaining high efficiency, ...

Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

Faithful simulations of the world are impossible to create using ordinary computers. Simulating physical reality is, however, the original, express purpose of quantum computers. In 1981, long before ...

But after reading Decoherence and Quantum Darwinism, a book published in March 2025 by the physicist Wojciech Zurek, I’m excited by the possibility of an answer that does away with all those fanciful ...
