A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and ...

Quantum states are notoriously fragile, and can be destroyed simply through interactions, measurements, and exposure to their ...

A research team has identified environmental interactions as the cause of ultrafast electronic decoherence in solids, a long-standing open question in quantum physics.

All realistic quantum systems interact with their environments and thereby must be considered as open quantum systems. When a quantum system is strongly coupled to its environment, the so-called ...

Devices like lasers and other semiconductor-based technologies operate on the principles of quantum mechanics, but they only scratch the surface. To fully exploit quantum phenomena, scientists are ...

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

Scientists at the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have directly observed and controlled prethermalisation – a temporary yet critical transition state in quantum systems. The ...

This study demonstrates how integrating decoherence-free subspaces with dynamical decoupling enhances quantum state fidelity, offering a practical route to more noise-resilient quantum computing ...

Although the potential applications of quantum computing are widespread, a new feasibility study suggests quantum computers still face major hurdles in solving quantum chemistry problems. The study, ...
