Significant Milestone for Scaling Up Quantum Computers

A future quantum computer, employing "quantum bits" or qubits, might be capable of solving problems which are not tractable for classical computers. Scientists are presently struggling to develop devices with more than a few qubits, with the growing challenge that the qubits mutually hinder each other’s proper operation.

New Family of Mathematical Models Exhibit Broad Array of Quantum Particle Interactions

In physics, the conundrum known as the "few-body problem," how three or more interacting particles behave, has bedeviled scientists for centuries. Equations that describe the physics of few-body systems are usually unsolvable and the methods used to find solutions are unstable.

University of Maryland Professor Offers Testimony to Address the Need for National Quantum Initiative

The House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Subcommittee on Research and Technology and Subcommittee on Energy today held a joint hearing, "American Leadership in Quantum Technology," featuring testimony from experts including Dr. Christopher Monroe, professor of physics at the University of Maryland and founder and chief scientist at IonQ, Inc., who testified on behalf of the National Photonics Initiative (NPI) – an alliance of top scientific societies uniting industry and academia to raise awareness of photonics.

New Honeycomb-Structured Material Meets Elusive Standards of the Kitaev Model

An elusive honeycomb-structured material has been developed by researchers from Boston College and Harvard. This new material is capable of frustrating the magnetic properties inside it in order to develop a chemical entity called "spin liquid," long theorized as a gateway to the free-flowing properties of quantum computing, based on a new report in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
