Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

A visual representation of tensor networks. (Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation) Efforts to advance quantum computing are also raising the bar for classical computing – showing that these ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Superposition and entanglement together form the foundation of quantum computing. The former describes how qubits—the building blocks of quantum ...

Conservation laws are central to our understanding of the universe, and now scientists have expanded our understanding of these laws in quantum mechanics. A conservation law in physics describes the ...

Scientists have shown that sunlight alone can generate quantum-correlated photons capable of producing “ghost images,” a feat ...

As mind-bendingly counterintuitive as the subject is, though, it is showing up in all kinds of technological spaces these ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results from the oscillation of its pendulum. These phenomena can be understood with ...

(Flavio Coelho/Moment/Getty Images) For decades, scientists have been searching for quantum spin liquids (QSLs) – materials thought to possess several special properties that could advance our ...
