For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art ...

A recent study conducted by the Jülich research center in Germany compared 19 quantum processors from five manufacturers. The tests measured the stability and reliability of these systems for ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have been able to see the magnetic nucleus of an atom switch back and forth in real time. They read out the nuclear "spin" via the ...

Researchers have been able to initiate a controlled movement in the very heart of an atom. They caused the atomic nucleus to interact with one of the electrons in the outermost shells of the atom.

Kyndryl is inviting enterprises to take a hard look at their encryption, launching a new Quantum Safe Assessment service that underscores quantum safety as a present-day planning issue rather than a ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, lighting the path for future quantum innovations. Like perfectly controlled ...

The cobalt atom (red) has a magnetic moment (“spin,” blue arrow ), which is constantly reoriented (from spin-up to spin-down) by an external magnetic field. As a result, the magnetic atom excites the ...

Artist impression, based on actual measurement data, of the nuclear spin of an atom flipping between distinct quantum states. The flipping was observed as a fluctuation in the electrical current ...
