A theoretical study shows that quantum excitations without topological protection, previously considered experimental limitations, can serve as spectroscopic tools for identifying quantum statistics.

A "Majorana fermion" is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, certain solid ...

Dark matter is thought to exist everywhere, wrapping around galaxies and helping to shape the largest things in the universe.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have realized particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms.

A new study suggests that faint, ancient ripples in spacetime may hold the key to one of physics’ greatest mysteries.

Scientists in Switzerland have come closer to building stable quantum computers after developing a ...

A first wave of stocks at the start of the decade — comprising IonQ, Rigetti and D-Wave — highlighted the most mature quantum ...

In his short career, Ettore Majorana made several profound contributions. One of them, his concept of 'Majorana fermions' — particles that are their own antiparticle — is finding ever wider relevance ...

Quantum exchange or swap gates are an important part of quantum computers with a large number of qubits. Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a swap gate for qubits made of neutral atoms that is ...

We largely think of the world in four dimensions — time and the three spatial dimensions. But a fifth dimension might actually solve this longstanding mystery.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have realised particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms.

In their research, Hasenfratz, Catterall, and Butt used renormalization group (RG) theory to study the more complex phase ...
