For quantum computers to be feasible, quantum error correction is necessary to protect the information in qubit arrays even if individual qubits become corrupted. Its ...

A previously unknown quantum particle — equivalent to a neutral electron — may have been found in a new state of matter. The chargeless oddball wouldn't be one of the fundamental building blocks of ...

Chemists at Hokkaido University have experimentally confirmed the existence of a single-electron carbon-carbon bond for the first time (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07965-1). Linus Pauling ...

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

A University of Chicago-led team of researchers has developed a technique to record the quantum mechanical behavior of an individual electron contained within a nanoscale defect in diamond. Their ...

Researchers have demonstrated a completely novel state of matter in a metal. It is created by the combination of four electrons -- until now, only electron pairs were known. This discovery could lead ...
