For quantum computers to be feasible, quantum error correction is necessary to protect the information in qubit arrays even if individual qubits become corrupted. Its ...

A previously unknown quantum particle — equivalent to a neutral electron — may have been found in a new state of matter. The chargeless oddball wouldn't be one of the fundamental building blocks of ...

A University of Chicago-led team of researchers has developed a technique to record the quantum mechanical behavior of an individual electron contained within a nanoscale defect in diamond. Their ...
