Quantum computing is considered, by many, the next leap in technological advancement, so physicists from the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), the Neils Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Harvard University have decided to team up. Hearing that researchers want to make a nanosized loudspeaker may give the wron... |

While personal storage devices can be secured in various ways, the cloud cannot implement the same data protection features, so a team from the University of Vienna figured it was time to find a way to protect user data even when stored in the cloud. The solution they developed relies on the principles of quantum m... |

Scientists with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently proposed a new experiment that could prove quantum computers can indeed be built, and handle operations that are out of reach for even the most modern computers today. This particular experiment would be tremendously complex and difficult to set... |

For the first time in history a team of researchers successfully created a system of three entangled diamond nuclei, which they believe to lead to solid state systems that make use of both ions and photons in an entangled state of multiple particles. Entanglement is basically a quantum effect through which the proper... |

Photon entanglement is believed to be the future of quantum computing, however creating entangled photon pairs is extremely difficult because entangled photons generation is subjected to random quantum processes. This basically means that with a device you can create a single entangled pair while in a later identical... |

Erbium is generally used in optical communication components, due to the magneto-optical properties it has and may one day be used to build optical computing systems and quantum computing. A new study conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in collaboration with the University of Maryland, su... |

Some of you might think that creating a void is something easily achievable with today's technology, but the truth is far from reality. Not even the vacuum of space is completely empty. For example, vacuum is routinely used by physicists while undertaking studies related to quantum physics. But these vacuums are... |

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that while trying to determine the exact position of a particle in a small region of space, the momentum of the respective particle becomes uncertain and vice versa, by determining the momentum of the particle its location becomes uncertain. This property of the nanoscal... |
