Working in tandem, a quantum computer and a supercomputer modelled the behaviour of several molecules, paving the way for ...

Scientists say they’ve cracked a key challenge in scalable quantum hardware after generating an error-correcting, light-based qubit on a chip for the first time.

In a historic breakthrough, scientists have fully sequenced the DNA of a 4,800-year-old Egyptian man—unlocking powerful insights into ancient ancestry, migration, and daily life in early dynastic ...

Quantum computing proves unconditional exponential speedup, paving the way for practical utility and investing opportunities.

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

Artificial intelligence has already transformed how we innovate, predict, and compete. Quantum computing promises to do the ...

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.

A multinational team has cracked a long-standing barrier to reliable quantum computing by inventing an algorithm that lets ordinary computers faithfully mimic a fault-tolerant quantum circuit built on ...

Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

The Applied Physics Group (GAP) was set up in 1980 to facilitate the transition from fundamental physics to practical applications. GAP’s interests are designed to be wide-ranging in order to boost ...
