How Multi-Qubit Entanglement Powers Future Quantum Networks
In 2020, researchers achieved an extraordinary feat: they entangled two ensembles of rubidium-87 atoms.

Soccer Players Bend Shots Midair Using Magnus Effect Physics
At NASA, the same aerodynamic equations used for rockets are now applied to soccer balls, helping students unravel the physics behind a perfectly bent shot.

What is quantum error correction for fault-tolerant quantum computers?
The distance-7 quantum memory has shattered expectations, preserving quantum information for over twice as long as its most robust physical qubit, a monumental feat reported in Nature .

What Are Topological Qubits and Why Are They Key for Quantum Computing?
Microsoft and UC Santa Barbara physicists recently unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, a first-of-its-kind achievement that heralds a new era of stable quantum computing.

New technique fixes neutral-atom quantum computer flaw
For the first time, a neutral atom quantum computer has demonstrated 'better-than-physical' error rates, meaning its logical qubits are more stable than the individual atoms they are built from.
