Quantum physicists from the University of Innsbruck have set another world record: They have achieved controlled entanglement of 14 quantum bits (qubits) and, thus, realized the largest quantum ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

There are only two options. Not so in a quantum computer. Quantum bits, or qubits, can exist in multiple states ...

Known as earthquake lights, these luminous phenomena have left geologists and physicists searching for answers. Typically ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern ...

Scientists use entanglement, aka 'spooky action at a distance,' to build a quantum sensor so sensitive it approaches the ...
