In Juy, Mikhail Lukin at Harvard University announced they had a 51 quantum bit simulator. Quantum simulators are used to model the minute behavior of molecules, and could help study how drugs act ...

Having good neighbors can be very valuable—even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine an ...

This release is available in German. A data memory can hardly be any smaller: researchers working with Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have stored quantum ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- In a major physics breakthrough, University of Otago scientists have developed a technique to consistently isolate and capture a fast-moving neutral atom - and have also seen and ...

Physicists have presented a method that may be suitable for the production of so-called quantum repeaters. These should improve the transmission of quantum information over long distances. The ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique ...

Aviation giant Airbus is among 16 participants in a new European research project that is aiming to develop a laser-cooled atom quantum sensor for potential deployment in space. The “CARIOQA-PMP” ...

The first system for reshaping the time-varying profiles of individual photons has been created by Olivier Morin and colleagues at the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany. The ...

Developing and working with advanced quantum systems, atomic clocks and sensors require expensive high-precision lasers that come with a heavy setup. Not all labs in the world can afford this, ...

Rydberg atoms are giant, excited atoms in which an electron travels far away from the nucleus. Scientists now believe these atoms can form molecules so huge that a virus could fit completely inside – ...
