Quantum computers threaten our whole cybersecurity infrastructure: Here’s how scientists can bulletproof it
Thirteen, 53, and 433. That’s the size of quantum computers in terms of quantum bits, or qubits, which has significantly grown in the last years due to important public and private investments and initiatives. It is not only a mere question of quantity: the quality of the prepared qubits is as important as their number for a quantum computer to beat […]
Scientists See Quantum Interference between Different Kinds of Particles for First Time
For the first time, scientists have observed quantum interference—a wavelike interaction between particles related to the weird quantum phenomenon of entanglement—occurring between two different kinds of particles. The discovery could help physicists understand what goes on inside an atomic nucleus. Particles act as both particles and waves. And interference is the ability of one particle’s […]
Scientists make a quantum harmonic oscillator at room temperature
A quantum harmonic oscillator—a structure that can control the location and energy of quantum particles that could, in the future, be used to develop new technologies including OLEDs and miniature lasers—has been made at room temperature by researchers led by the University of St Andrews. The research, conducted in collaboration with scientists at Nanyang […]
