Lack of symmetry in qubits can"t fix errors in quantum computing, might explain matter/antimatter
A team of quantum theorists seeking to cure a basic problem with quantum annealing computers—they have to run at a relatively slow pace to operate properly—found something intriguing instead. While probing how quantum annealers perform when opera.....»»
Scientists use light to visualize magnetic domains in quantum materials
When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the University of Tokyo have successfully used light to visualize tiny magne.....»»
A quantum material could be the future of high-energy X-ray imaging and particle detection
Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays or particles visible through flashes of light to form an image. Their many applications include particle physics, medical imaging, X-ray security and more......»»
Physicists reveal nonlinear transport induced by quantum geometry in planar altermagnets
In recent years, many physicists and materials scientists have been studying a newly uncovered class of magnetic materials known as altermagnets. These materials exhibit a unique type of magnetism that differs from both conventional ferromagnetism an.....»»
Committed a workplace gaffe? You will survive it (and you may even get promoted)
Nearly everybody has emailed the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. It's a leveler in modern workplaces. The consequences of errors may be immense or trivial, but not much can change that now. The error was your doing: you underperfor.....»»
