Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Harvard University, and Caltech have succeeded in increasing the lifetime of a quantum bit (qubit) in a diamond crystal to over a second at room temperature. In earlier attempts, the storage time of this kind of qubit was only a few thousandths of a second.
The Hall effect has been observed for the very first time in a gas of ultracold atoms by researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This discovery will enable scientists to enhance their knowledge about the physics of the quantum Hall effect and superfluidity.

Daniel Grumiller and Gabriela Mocanu, researchers at the Vienna University of Technology, have devised a new technique to demonstrate the existence of theoretical ‘axions,’ which may encircle a black hole and extort energy from it. This may result in the emission of gravity waves, which can then be calculated.
