What once took up the entire space in IBM’s lab in the 60’s, now fits on a chip. With tech. breakthroughs, it’s been about the how and when — as will quantum on a chip.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even ...

The manipulation of neutral atoms by light is one of the most important scientific discoveries in the field of quantum physics in the last three decades. Researchers show that increasing the number of ...
