The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal ...

From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the ...

The cloud gave enterprises speed and scale. Post-quantum security will determine whether it remains safe in this new era of ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in ...

Californian John Martinis won a Nobel Prize for physics work he did decades ago. Today, he's on a quest to create the fastest ...

For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in various matter systems. These techniques allow for the controlled and ...

"You're basically creating molecular circuits in the machine's memory versus connecting together a bunch of steps in a piece of software," said Bill Vass.

For developing a room-temperature quantum material, instead of using rigid crystals like diamond or silicon carbide, the researchers turned to chemistry for answers. They designed a conjugated polymer ...

QKD uses photons — the smallest units of light — to securely transmit encryption keys. Any attempt to intercept them disturbs their quantum state, alerting the sender and receiver. This makes QKD ...

We are at a tipping point for quantum computing, which is on the verge of becoming a reality. While its potential is tantalizing, it also represents an unprecedented threat to the traditional data ...
