A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing—and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies ...

Quantum computers struggle with a major flaw: their information vanishes unpredictably. Scientists have now created a new method that can measure this loss over 100 times faster than before. By ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

In the quest to move quantum computing into practical use, researchers have developed a new understanding of qubit lifespans.

Linder's work involves quantum materials science and how it can be used in spintronics and quantum technology. The short explanation of this is that spin is a property of electrons that we can use to ...

Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics—the physics governing particles at atomic and subatomic scales—to process information in totally different ways from today’s digital computers. Instead of ...

Taking quantum circuits from a vague academic notion to the factory floor in just over 40 years might sound daunting — even impossible. But as Yale physicist Robert Schoelkopf explains, it all came ...

Connecticut’s quantum sector is having a moment, thanks in part to a Yale startup that has long been viewed as a key element in promoting a flourishing tech ecosystem in New Haven that generates jobs, ...
