Cisco is the latest company to announce a quantum breakthrough. On Tuesday, the company said it has developed a prototype entanglement source chip that has the potential to cut the timeline for ...

Light moving through a tiny silicon structure does not look dramatic. It slips down narrow waveguides etched onto a chip, guided by geometry too small to see with the naked eye. Yet in those channels, ...

A new platform developed by Illinois Grainger engineers demonstrates the utility of a ytterbium-171 atom array in quantum networking. Their work represents a key step toward long-distance quantum ...

A growing body of research now treats the challenge of building large-scale quantum computers less as a single-chip engineering puzzle and more as a networking problem. The core idea: link smaller, ...

Controlling quantum states with high precision—and entangling particles—has long been the goal of researchers pushing the boundaries of quantum technology. Although great strides have been made across ...

Quantum computers are able to solve complex calculations that would take traditional computers thousands of years in just a few minutes. What if that analytical power is turned inwards towards the ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...
