Say hello to the world’s first solid state quantum hard drive. Storing data in a state of quantum entanglement could hold enormous promise for securing our online information, but righ... Read more
The possibility of directly controlling quantum states may be important for possible future quantum computers. Superconductivity and magnetic fields are normally seen as rivals – very strong... Read more
A normally fragile quantum state has been shown to survive at room temperature for a world record 39 minutes, overcoming a key barrier towards building ultrafast quantum computers. An intern... Read more
“We will no longer need any exotic machinery which is only found in laboratories” With just a single atom, light can be switched between two fibre optic cables at the Vienna Univ... Read more
“This demonstrates that quantum cryptography can be implemented as an extension to existing systems” LMU physicists have, for the first time, successfully transmitted a secure quantum... Read more
Physicists say they can make money that can’t be copied—at least in theory Since the invention of paper money, counterfeiters have churned out fake bills. Some of their handiwork, cre... Read more
