Physicists at the University of Vienna have discovered magnons with lifespans 100 times longer than previously measured.

Steps are moving science and technology towards functioning quantum computers. There are many obstacles, however; not least because quantum world is fragile. In this ...

Magnons are tiny waves in magnetization that travel through solid magnetic materials, much like the ripples that spread across a pond when a stone is thrown into it. Unlike photons, which travel ...

Millions of quantum bits are required for quantum computers to prove useful in practical applications. The scalability is one of the greatest challenges in the development of future devices. One ...

October 22, 2012. In yet another step toward the realization of a practical quantum computer, scientists working at Princeton and the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) have shown how a major hurdle in ...
