The German Falling Walls Foundation is recognizing Argonne physicist Saw Wai Hla for X-ray research that could be widely applied in environmental and medical research and the development of batteries and microelectronic devices.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that a type of qubit whose architecture is more amenable to mass production can perform comparably to qubits currently dominating the field.
Her father was a renowned physicist who studied black holes, and her mother is a prominent molecular biophysicist. You could say that physics is in her DNA. But physics isn’t the only thing in Illinois Grainger Engineering professor Smitha Vishveshwara’s blood; so are the arts.
The 12th annual Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) offers intensive two-week training for next-generation scientists, computer experts, data analysts and others aiming to infuse their computing research with new vibrancy.
For the first time, the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory will run equipment developed at its research facilities on a commercially available quantum network at EPB Quantum Network powered by Qubitekk.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the selection of 91 early career scientists from across the country who will receive a combined $138 million in funding for research covering a wide range of topics including artificial intelligence, fusion energy, and quantum.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $65 million in funding in quantum computing for 10 projects, comprising a total of 38 separate awards.
Dr. Seung-Woo Lee and his team at the Quantum Technology Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a world-class quantum error correction technology and designed a fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on it.
Scientists have for the first time mechanically detected individual nuclear decays occurring in a microparticle. The research used a new technique. Rather than detecting the radiation emitted by the nuclei, the researchers detected the occurrence of decay by measuring the tiny “kick” to the entire microparticle that contained the decaying nucleus as this radiation escaped.
In 2D quantum materials, chiral edge states are 1D conducting channels in which electrons travel only in one direction and electron collisions are strongly suppressed. This means chiral channels act like resistance-free conductors.
The robust operation of quantum entanglement states is crucial in quantum information, and computation. However, it is a great challenge to complete such a task because of decoherence and disorder.
Revealing the underlying patterns behind complex systems and predicting their behavior has become a focal point of current interdisciplinary research. In this study, researchers delved into the intrinsic mechanisms of complex systems behavior of photonic phase transitions in one-dimensional Rayleigh scattering systems by establishing a Rayleigh-scattering-phase-variation model with experimental realization. This work expands the current understanding of photonic phase transitions, which is an important reference value for the study of various complex systems. Furthermore, it advances the application of random fiber lasers in critical fields such as high-power laser devices.
Exploring quantum heat engines is vital for designing highly efficient power systems beyond classical limits and for understanding quantum thermodynamics. Scientists demonstrate the first implementation of chiral thermodynamic cycles and quantum state transfers in a trapped ion by dynamically encircling a closed loop excluding Liouvillian exceptional points.
For the first time since X-rays were discovered, researchers have successfully performed X-ray spectroscopy to identify the element of a single atom at a time. The achievement takes advantage of improvements to synchrotron X-ray light sources.
An NAU physicist is spearheading groundbreaking new quantum physics research, a field with the potential to revolutionize computing, communication, security and sensing on a global scale
Sandia National Laboratories and Arizona State University, two research powerhouses, are collaborating to push the boundaries of quantum technology and transform large-scale optical systems into compact integrated microsystems.
A recent study shows that the superconducting edge currents in the topological material molybdenum telluride (MoTe2) can sustain large changes in the “glue” that keeps the superconducting electrons paired. To sustain these changes, the bulk and the edge of MoTe2 must behave differently. This surprise finding will help researchers create and control anyons and aid in the development of future energy-efficient electronics.
Underground at the Switzerland-France border, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN holds the record for the world’s largest particle accelerator. Its ring alone is nearly 17 miles around. With this tool, scientists smash together subatomic particles to help them better understand the tiny building blocks of the universe. One area that scientists use the LHC to study is the quark-gluon plasma.
