Vibrating Atoms Make Robust Qubits, Physicists Find

MIT physicists have discovered a new quantum bit, or “qubit,” in the form of vibrating pairs of atoms known as fermions. They found that when pairs of fermions are chilled and trapped in an optical lattice, the particles can exist simultaneously in two states — a weird quantum phenomenon known as superposition.

Research Offers a New Way Towards the Realization of Unprecedented Quantum States

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have demonstrated a new way to control the quantum state through the loss of particles – a process that is usually avoided in the quantum device, offering a new way towards the realization of unprecedented quantum states.

Scientists Make First Detection of Exotic “X” Particles in Quark-gluon Plasma

In the first millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the universe was a roiling, trillion-degree plasma of quarks and gluons — elementary particles that briefly glommed together in countless combinations before cooling and settling into more stable configurations to make the neutrons and protons of ordinary matter.

Study Uncovers the Nature of Alpha-Rich Young Stars

As there is a difficulty in understanding the canonical scheme of the Galactic chemical evolution of the alpha-rich giant stars with theoretical young ages, it has been categorized as an abnormal population.

Comprehensive Data on Dark Matter After Worldwide Coordinated Efforts Via the GNOME Network

For the first time, detailed data on the search for dark matter using a global network of optical magnetometers has been published by an international group of scientists with primary participation from the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM).

Novel Technique Improves Quantum Key Distribution Protocols in Long-Distance, Real-World Networks

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols enable cryptographic keys to be shared between distant parties with an intrinsic security guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics. This is made possible by the transmission of single photons, the elementary particles of which light is made of.

Research Opens the Door to Quantum Simulations of False Vacuum Decay

Phase transitions are everywhere, ranging from water boiling to snowflakes melting, and from magnetic transitions in solids to cosmological phase transitions in the early universe. Particularly intriguing are quantum phase transitions that occur at temperatures close to absolute zero and are driven by quantum rather than thermal fluctuations.
