Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

Life is motion. And so, to understand how living organisms function, one must understand the movement and reorganization of the atoms and molecules that compose them. The approach called "molecular ...

More stable and efficient materials for solar cells are needed in the green transition. So-called halide perovskites are highlighted as a promising alternative to today's silicon materials.

Researchers at Leipzig University have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

Reading time: 2 minutes Department of Chemistry Assistant Professor Rui Sun (middle) and his research team Chemical reactions can take place at very fast speeds at extremely small scales—sometimes too ...

Pasqal, French Quantum Computer Company, has successfully loaded over 1,000 atoms in a single shot within their quantum computing setup, a significant leap towards scalable quantum processors. This ...

Quantum circuits still can’t outperform classical ones when simulating molecules. Get real. The Sycamore chip made by Google, comprising 53 quantum bits, has been used to explore “quantum advantage”: ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...
