Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

MUNICH, Germany — Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world. This is how countless films and stories describe it - but ...

Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...

Taiwan is moving to cement its position in the emerging global quantum technology supply chain, with the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) outlining a strategy to build a full ...

Movies have a knack for taking really complicated ideas and making them seem, well, almost understandable. When it comes to quantum physics, this is especially true. Filmmakers often use these ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

GRIFFITH, Australia—At a tiny airport in the Australian countryside last month, a small plane took off carrying a device that could transform how U.S. drones, aircraft and ships navigate across future ...
