BUFFALO, N.Y. — Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity — a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to ...

Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that it is crucial to measure them with minimal interference. Researchers at the ...

Quantum computing breaktrhroughs including new hardware, smarter algorithms, and clearer signs of “quantum advantage,” bring ...

A first wave of stocks at the start of the decade — comprising IonQ, Rigetti and D-Wave — highlighted the most mature quantum technologies at that time. Their qubits — the basic building blocks from ...

Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also ...

“One of the major challenges in quantum technology today is finding a way to perform computer operations with sufficient accuracy,” Linder said. For years, physicists have hunted for intrinsic triplet ...

A triplet superconductor, in contrast, involves equal-spin pairing. That difference matters for technologies that want to use electron spin itself, not just charge. “The fact that triplet ...
