Imagine you're trying to build a very long, complicated chain of dominoes. The aim is that each domino hits the next one ...

A new theoretical study has taken a close look at how noise influences these circuits. The results show that noise places a ...

Typical superconducting quantum circuits, such as qubits—basic processing units of a quantum computer, must be operated at very low temperatures, of a few 10s of millikelvin, or hundredths of a degree ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis "for their discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an ...

After the passing of physicist Anthony Leggett, columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan remembers their personal connection with ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot, ...
