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.

While conventional computers store information in the form of bits, fundamental pieces of logic that take a value of either 0 or 1, quantum computers are based on qubits. These can have a state that ...

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering postdoctoral researcher Hong Qiao is the first author of a new paper demonstrating deterministic phase control of the mechanical vibrations known as ...

Quantum computers work by applying quantum operations, such as quantum gates, to delicate quantum states. Ideally, quantum ...

For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the reach of supercomputers. But its practical use has remained elusive. That’s ...

This, in turn, altered the configuration of the orbitals to achieve the half-Möbius configuration that the researchers were ...

At its heart, quantum teleportation is about transmitting the precise quantum state of a particle. A quantum state is like a detailed b ...
