It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

While this may complicate the quest for a clear experimental signature of quantum gravity, it does not render such tests useless. According to the research team, both classical and quantum models of ...

Using quantum computing and classical computing together to solve a problem. Both quantum processing units (QPUs) and central processing units (CPUs) are used. For example, classical solvers may ...

The processor in a quantum computer. The quantum chip contains the qubits as well as the quantum logic gates that manipulate the qubits. This differs dramatically from a classical computer where the ...

Stephan Rachel receives funding from Australian Research Council (ARC). Researchers at Microsoft have announced the creation of the first “topological qubits” in a device that stores information in an ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...
