Puzzling effects Two quantum simulations have revealed unexpected behaviour at quantum phase transitions. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Inna-Bigun) Unexpected behaviour at phase transitions between ...

Quantum devices use qubits (quantum bits), which allow computations to extend from the classical 0 and 1 options of bits. Papic and his group have used a 5,564-qubit quantum annealer to simulate a one ...

A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, ...

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.

Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...
