A superconductor made from germanium, a material commonly used to build computer chips, could one day create better and more reliable quantum computers. Superconductors are materials that conduct ...

Strongly interacting quantum particles are key to some of the most fascinating phenomena in modern physics—from magnetism and ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Superconducting qubit design takes center stage at the 2026 Quantum Device Design Workshop, which opened Monday at UCLA.

A peer-reviewed critique of Majorana 1 claims Microsoft did not conclusively demonstrate a working topological qubit.

For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...

In a recent study, Manish Garg, independent group leader at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPI FKF), succeeded in probing the local properties of bright and dark excitons in the ...
