Rather than a teleportation chamber out of a sci-fi movie, quantum teleportation transports information rather than matter.

Scientists demonstrate quantum teleportation using electrons

Tangled Up in Quantum

A team of researchers claim to have achieved quantum teleportation using individual electrons. The discovery could revolutionize quantum computing.

Scientists Demonstrate Quantum Teleportation Using Electrons

"Reliably creating long-distance interactions between electrons is essential for quantum computing."

We are now capable of solving problems that we couldn't solve before.

Here's why quantum supremacy matters

Quantum Supremacy

After weeks of speculation caused by a fleeting appearance of a paper that claimed it could turn the world of computation on its head, Google decided to come out and say it outright in a paper published today in the journal Nature. What their team of researchers claimed to have achieved is a state of […]

Here’s Why Quantum Supremacy Matters

Google's watershed quantum computing achievement explained.

It may be a groundbreaking moment to some — but not all.

It's official: Google claims to have achieved quantum supremacy

Google published a paper in the journal Nature Monday morning claiming its quantum computer has achieved quantum supremacy.

It’s Official: Google Claims to Have Achieved Quantum Supremacy

Google says its quantum computer did in three minutes what a traditional computer would need 10,000 years for.

"One phonon corresponds to an energy ten trillion trillion times smaller than the energy required to keep a light bulb on for one second."

This "quantum microphone" can listen to a single sound particle

Quantum Mic Drop

Stanford researchers have developed a "quantum microphone" that is so sensitive, it can measure individual particles of sound, otherwise known as "phonons."

This “Quantum Microphone” Can Listen to a Single Sound Particle

“Sound, at the quantum level, crackles.”

These quantum systems aren't limited to 0s and 1s.

Forget qubits — scientists just built a quantum gate with qudits

Jump the Qudit

Researchers have built a quantum gate incorporating qudits as opposed to qubits — and it could help usher in the era of quantum computing.

Forget Qubits — Scientists Just Built a Quantum Gate With Qudits

And they could help usher in the era of the quantum computer.

The discovery could help overcome a major quantum computing hurdle.

Stacking graphene creates entirely new quantum states

Layer Up

By stacking two layers of graphene, physicists produced entirely new quantum states that they think might help overcome a major hurdle to quantum computers.

Stacking Graphene Creates Entirely New Quantum States

The "supermaterial" has a super power we didn't know about.

We're one major step closer to useful quantum computers.

Scientists predict quantum jumps, turning physics on its head

Paradox Lost

Not only are quantum jumps predictable, they can also be reversed, according to a new Yale study that could benefit quantum computing research.

Scientists Predict Quantum Jumps, Turning Physics on Its Head

Found: Schrödinger’s cat, alive and well.
