For a field that many have long considered decades away, quantum computing sure is getting a lot of buzz in Silicon Valley.

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an ...

An international research collaboration has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 is perfectly spherical. The discovery challenges fundamental assumptions about ...

By integrating topoconductors and Majorana particles, Microsoft has mapped out a viable route to a million-qubit quantum chip ...

Majorana 1 relies on ‘topological superconductivity,’ a never-before-seen theoretical form of matter.

Microsoft has long been working on an alternative that could cut down on the overhead by using components that are far more ...

With its ‘topological’ quantum computers, Microsoft aims to reach useful scales faster than competing technologies ...

Three RIKEN physicists have discovered how tiny tubes of carbon spit out light that is more energetic than the light shone on them. This finding could help to exploit the process in applications such ...

Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's supermassive black hole, is constantly producing strange eruptions. Astronomers are using the ...

The term “polar vortex” usually refers to the gigantic circular upper air weather pattern in the Arctic region. It is a ...
