A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing—and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies ...

One of the biggest headaches in quantum computing is errors. Qubits are super fragile, and any little disturbance from the ...

Yesterday, three members of Microsoft’s quantum team presented their work towards a topological quantum computer at the APS Global Summit in Anaheim. Last month, the team made waves announcing their ...

Scientists have developed a new way to read the hidden states of Majorana qubits, which store information in paired quantum modes that resist noise. The results confirm their protected nature and show ...

Artistic illustration of a topological exciton insulator: Excitons condense in the bulk of the material, forming a collective insulating phase, while topologically protected edge modes propagate ...
