Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony atom and the …
Wild Thought Experiments in Physics Set to Advance Quantum Computing
Scientists have used the famed "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment to come up with a way to remove errors from future quantum computers. The new method encodes quantum information onto an antimony atom, which has eight possible states that enable data to be more safely stored than in a standard two-state qubit, or quantum bit.
Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence …
The newly discovered "blazar," which has a mass equal to 700 million suns, is the oldest of its kind ever seen and changes what we know about the …
The grandfather paradox is just one of the thorny logical problems that arise with the concept of time travel. But one physicist says he has resolved …
New research suggests that most of the atoms within the human body likely spent part of their lives drifting beyond the Milky Way on a cosmic …
