Quantum entanglement can be endlessly 'embezzled' from quantum fields
24 December 2024
Some quantum fields that extend throughout all of space-time could be a rich resource of quantum entanglement that can be extracted forever
Quantum teleportation can survive through busy internet cables
20 December 2024
An experiment showing that quantum and classical communication can be carried out through the same fibre at the same time may open the door to building a quantum internet with existing infrastructure
Our writers pick the 26 best science fiction short stories of all time
20 December 2024
We asked Â鶹´«Ã½ writers to pick their favourite sci-fi short story. From H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine to Octavia E. Butler’s Bloodchild, via stories from George R. R. Martin and Ursula K. Le Guin, here are the results
Quantum computers teleport and store energy harvested from empty space
17 September 2024
A quantum computing protocol makes it possible to extract energy from seemingly empty space, teleport it to a new location, then store it for later use
Cause and effect may not actually be muddled in the quantum realm
13 September 2024
The direction of cause and effect was brought into question for quantum objects more than a decade ago, but new calculations may offer a way to restore it
How Schrödinger's cat could make quantum computers work better
6 May 2024
A quantum bit inspired by Schrödinger’s cat can resist making errors for an unprecedentedly long time, which makes it a candidate for building less error-prone quantum computers
A new kind of experiment at the LHC could unravel quantum reality
24 April 2024
The Large Hadron Collider is testing entanglement in a whole new energy range, probing the meaning of quantum theory – and the possibility that an even stranger reality lies beneath
IBM has just made error correction easier for quantum computers
18 August 2023
The difficulty of quantum error correction has been a major stumbling block for quantum computers, but IBM researchers have developed a way to make it far more efficient
Quantum computers that use 'cat qubits' may make fewer errors
5 March 2023
Quantum bits inspired by Schrödinger’s cat could allow quantum computers to make fewer mistakes and more efficiently crack algorithms used for encryption
