The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. have made a groundbreaking achievement after they captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space.

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For ...

Quantum technology is accelerating out of the lab and into the real world, and a new article argues that the field now stands ...

Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But scientists at MIT and Harvard have just taken precision to an entirely new ...

A new article examines the history of computing to help outline the direction of quantum research. It reports that quantum ...

By building an atomic equivalent of the critical Josephson junction, scientists can now study how energy is lost and excitations form.

CAMBRIDGE, MA – In the future, quantum computers could rapidly simulate new materials or help scientists develop faster machine-learning models, opening the door to many new possibilities. But these ...

Why it matters: Quantum computers promise to tackle problems that stump even the most advanced supercomputers. Getting there is a different story, though. One of the biggest hurdles is efficiently ...
