Quantum information science has the potential to make revolutionary advances in science and engineering and drive innovation. World Quantum Day, April 14, was created to generate interest and enthusiasm for quantum mechanics. The FBI…

Having switched my major from geology to business, I’m still a sucker for all things USGS. The organization just turned to quantum technology to help with the next generation of geological challenges, establishing a Cooperative Research and…

Acoustic resonators are ubiquitous. Smartphones, for example, have bulk acoustic resonators to filter out noise that could degrade an RF signal. Wi-Fi and GPS systems use the filters as well. Unfortunately, these resonators degrade over…

We know that quantum computing isn't based on the 1s and 0s of binary encoding. While quantum computers grew out of the binary system, physical systems that encode their quantum bits (qubits) have the potential also to encode quantum digits…

In a study published in Nature Physics, Rice University physicists and collaborators presented an array of experimental evidence showing their charge density wave discovery was rarer than first thought--a case where the magnetic and…

Representing an advance for quantum materials, scientists tested the ability of techniques called entanglement witnesses to accurately identify pairs of entangled magnetic particles. Entanglement is when one of the particles mirrors…

Researchers used an ultra-fast electron diffraction (UED) camera that detects tiny atomic movements to observe, for the first time, a quantum electronic device in operation. The device is a custom-designed miniature switch made of vanadium…

Universities Space Research Association (USRA) announced the beginning of operations for phase-2 of DARPA's Optimization with Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program. Phase 1 launched in 2020, and USRA was selected to lead…

Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa recently reviewed progress being made in using structured light in quantum protocols to create a larger encoding alphabet, stronger security and better resistance to…
