New entanglement breakthrough links cores of atoms, brings quantum computers closer
Andrea Morello, UNSW Sydney Quantum entanglement — once dismissed by Albert Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”…
Physicists find universal rules for quantum entanglement
Researchers have discovered universal principles governing quantum entanglement across all dimensions by applying thermal effective theory, a powerful framework from particle physics.
‘Neglected’ particle unlocks quantum computing power
By rescuing a discarded mathematical object to create a new type of anyon, scientists have found a way to achieve universal quantum computation through braiding alone.
How Lava Lamps Protect the Internet
Our most sensitive digital information is protected by harnessing the chaotic behavior of systems like lava lamps, thereby solving the critical problem that computers, by their very nature, cannot be truly random.
New ‘second law’ of entanglement finally proven
Researchers have discovered a new "second law" for entanglement, proving the process can be made perfectly reversible using a theoretical quantum battery to store and supply the resource.
Scientists use quantum algorithm to simulate 8 billion light particles
A new study proves quantum computers have a distinct advantage in simulating complex optical systems, a task considered impossible for today's supercomputers.
To advance quantum computing, ‘we can’t continue to copy and paste,’ scientists warn
A comprehensive new review explains the "barren plateau" phenomenon stalling quantum algorithms and calls for innovative, quantum-native approaches to overcome one of the field's most significant hurdles.
