14-07-15 Weizmann Institute scientists have demonstrated for the first time a photonic（光激性的） router -- a quantum device based on a single atom that enables routing of single photons by single photons. This achievement, as reported in Science magazine,...

14-06-16 A form of quantum weirdness is a key ingredient for building quantum computers according to new research from a team at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC). In a new study published in the journal Nature, researchers h...

14-06-10 Think those flat, glassy solar panels on your neighbor's roof are the pinnacle（高峰，极点） of solar technology? Think again. Researchers in the University of Toronto's Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical Computer Engineering have designe...

14-02-10 Seeking a solution to decoherence（脱散） -- the noise that prevents quantum processors from functioning properly -- scientists at USC have developed a strategy of linking quantum bits together into voting blocks, a strategy that significantly boost...

14-01-10 The US National Security Agency is building a quantum computer to break the encryption that keeps messages secure, reports the Washington Post. 据《华盛顿邮报》报道，美国国家安全局正在研发一款用于破解加密信息的量子计算机。 The NSA project came to li...

13-12-09 Sophisticated recent experiments with ultrashort laser pulses support the idea that intuition-defying quantum interactions between molecules help plants, algae（藻类） , and some bacteria efficiently gather light to fuel their growth. But key detail...

13-11-25 Suggesting that quantum computers might benefit from losing some data, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have entangled -- linked the quantum properties of -- two ions by leaking judiciously chosen information t...

13-10-19 An international team of scientists has provided proof of a key feature of quantum physics -- Heisenberg's error-disturbance relation -- more than 80 years after it was first suggested. One of the basic concepts in the world of quantum mechanics is...

13-09-16 Two researchers at UCL Computer Science and the University of Gdansk present a new method for determining the amount of entanglement -- a quantum phenomenon connecting two remote partners, and crucial for quantum technology -- within part of a one-d...

13-09-04 Researchers from the universities in Mainz, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Ulm have proposed a new platform for quantum simulation. In a theoretical paper recently published in Physical Review Letters, they show that a combined system of ultracold trapped i...
