An international team of scientists proved the never-before-seen molecule's exotic nature using a quantum computer, ...

Researchers at UC San Diego have produced what may be the strongest computational evidence yet that liquid water can split ...

The hope for quantum computers is that the devices will be able to solve complex tasks such as predicting how chemicals react or cracking encrypted text. One of the main reasons that the machines are ...

Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and ...

Silicon is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and now it is becoming increasingly useful in quantum computing. In particular, ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can ...

Quantum computers are gaining a reputation among chemists and material scientists as promising tools that can tackle problems ...

While quantum computers continue to slowly grind toward usefulness, some are pursuing a different approach—analog quantum simulation. This path doesn’t offer complete control of single bits of quantum ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...
