Physicists found why holes move slower than electrons in silicon: not defects, but higher intrinsic mass, supporting ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is an emerging communication technology that utilizes quantum mechanics principles to ensure highly secure communication between two parties. It enables the sender and ...

A new study uncovers how tiny misalignments in quantum communication links can quietly undermine security. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a next generation method for protecting digital ...

Today, the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) and the Illinois Economic Development Corporation announced that Quantum Machines will establish a flagship hub at the Park. Quantum ...

Taiwan has quietly crossed a threshold that many larger powers are still struggling to reach, unveiling a 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer designed, fabricated, and integrated entirely on its ...

Imagine traveling through a city where the streets themselves change shape depending on how fast you drive down them. For ...

Lasers and quantum electronics represent a transformative amalgam of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic technology that underpins much of modern scientific and industrial innovation. Central to ...

Physicists in Germany have led experiments that show the inertia of electrons can form 'tornadoes' inside a quantum semimetal. It's almost impossible for electrons to sit still, and their motions can ...

A team of researchers has found one of the missing pieces of the hardware puzzle that allows quantum computers to function at ...

Nonlinear optical dynamics—intensity-dependent response of light upon interaction with materials under high-intensity light sources—are of huge significance in modern photonics, finding applications ...

An associate professor in the Department of Physics, Lomsadze uses powerful laser-based tools to capture ultrafast events in quantum materials, work that could shape the future of technology.

Four areas─materials, biology, computing, and AI─are the major areas of focus for the US to move forward in the competitive ...
