Scientists just simulated the “impossible” — fault-tolerant quantum code cracked at last

16+ hour, 57+ min ago   (261+ words) Quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that no supercomputer today can handle. In the foreseeable future, quantum technology's computing power is expected to revolutionise fundamental ways of solving problems in medicine, energy, encryption, AI, and logistics. "The…...

Scientists just cracked the quantum code hidden in a single atom

16+ hour, 57+ min ago   (850+ words) To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that quantum bits, or qubits, create as they operate. Scientists encode these building blocks of quantum information to suppress errors in other qubits…...

CERN finds gluons behaving strangely deep inside atomic nuclei

16+ hour, 27+ min ago   (542+ words) A CERN experiment has given physicists a much sharper look at how gluons behave inside atomic nuclei, providing new evidence that could help distinguish between two competing explanations of what happens at extremely small scales. University of Kansas physicist Daniel…...

Tiny sound waves could help solve a major quantum computing problem

17+ hour, 23+ min ago   (514+ words) Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a way to protect quantum information using microscopic sound waves. By continuously surrounding a diamond-based qubit with mechanical vibrations, they extended its coherence time by roughly threefold. The same phonons could eventually both transmit and…...

Raindrops can damage paint with microscopic “lightning”

3+ day, 6+ hour ago   (239+ words) Scientists discovered that charged water droplets can damage protective coatings by releasing tiny electrical discharges when they hit a surface. The hidden effect could help explain weathering and lead to tougher coatings for cars, bridges, buildings, and more....

Chinese scientists find a hidden atomic structure that unlocks methane

4+ day, 1+ hour ago   (628+ words) Nickel can change both its oxidation state and its atomic arrangement under the high-temperature redox conditions involved in POM. Until now, these changes have been difficult to track in detail, making it challenging to determine the true structure responsible for…...

Scientists observe Einstein’s gravity in the quantum world for the first time

4+ day, 19+ hour ago   (365+ words) Physicists have directly observed a long-predicted quantum effect of gravity, putting one of Einstein’s foundational ideas to a striking new test. Using ultracold atoms, researchers split an atom’s quantum wave so that one part was held in place while the…...

An important step towards detecting fractons in quantum spin liquids

6+ day, 1+ hour ago   (168+ words) A more realistic quantum model has revealed evidence that strange, nearly immobile quasiparticles called fractons could exist in solid materials. Their inability to move freely could make them promising building blocks for unusually robust quantum information storage....

AI can now control fusion plasma faster than humans can react

1+ week, 3+ min ago   (758+ words) Princeton researchers have tested an AI system that can monitor and control fusion plasma in milliseconds, reacting far faster than a human operator. In one experiment, it predicted a damaging instability about 200 milliseconds before it appeared and adjusted the plasma…...
