Researchers realize a driven-dissipative Ising spin glass using a cavity quantum electrodynamics setup
Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in a random way. These random interactions between spins make it impossible for all spins to satisfy ...
A problem that takes quantum computers an unfathomable amount of time to solve
It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.
Strong magnetic field helps answer a question about the 'new duality' in materials physics
As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his discoveries could enable. Sometimes, though, what he finds is just too weird or extreme to have any ...

Google claims its latest quantum algorithm can outperform supercomputers on a real-world task
Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that solved a complex physics problem thousands of times faster than the world's most powerful classical ...
Record-breaking quantum key distribution transmission distance achieved alongside classical channels
Quantum key distribution (QKD) harnesses the power of quantum mechanics to securely transmit confidential information. When an outside source eavesdrops on a QKD transmission, the quantum states are affected. This dependably ...
Using entanglement to test whether gravity is quantum just got more complicated
Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) with quantum mechanics and ...
Microscopic 'ocean' on a chip reveals new nonlinear wave behavior
University of Queensland researchers have created a microscopic "ocean" on a silicon chip to miniaturize the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ's School of Mathematics and Physics, uses a layer of superfluid helium ...
