A quantum computer is not faster on its own. Instead, it employs a different computational model. There are algorithms in this model for some (but not all!) problems that are
Qubits, which are superconducting circuits that can exist in an endless number of binary states, must be on the same wavelength for quantum computers to
A multinational team of scientists from Austria and Germany has initiated a new paradigm in magnetism and superconductivity, focusing next-decade research on the impacts of
Hearing scientists have discovered that damage to hair cells, the sensory cells in the inner ear that convert sound-induced vibrations into electrical signals that are relayed to the brain by
Tendon tears of the rotator cuff and Achilles heel are common injuries, particularly among the elderly. They are painful and disabling, and they can have
Which factors influence how quickly a quantum computer can perform calculations? To answer this question, physicists from the University of Bonn and the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology devised
Metals must be extracted from oxides at high temperatures not only for the production of metals like steel but also for recycling. Researchers have been
Physicists have discovered the secret that explains how large groups of individual 'oscillators' – from flashing fireflies to cheering crowds, and ticking clocks to clicking metronomes – tend to synchronize
