If you put a message in a bottle and throw it into a black hole, all the information contained in it will be completely reduced to the quantum level. Because…
Researchers at ETH have managed to trap ions and perform quantum operations on them using static electric and magnetic fields. In the future such traps could be used to realize…
Quantum imaging is a growing field that takes advantage of the counter-intuitive and “spooky” ability of light particles or photons to combine or entangle under special conditions. If the position…

Could quantum computers be useful? Eric Lucero/Google Google and XPRIZE are launching a $5 million competition to find practical uses for quantum computers that could really benefit society. We already…
long jump It’s coming up on its 35th anniversary since it first hit the airwaves, and Scott Bakula had a unique way to celebrate the milestone. The 69-year-old actor was…
UNSW researchers have demonstrated multiple ways to write quantum information into silicon to design more flexible quantum chips. An artistic depiction of the 16 quantum states of the antimony atom,…
spoiler ALERT! This story contains plot points from Tuesday’s season finale long jump On NBC. The two-part finale of NBC’s reboot of the popular 1990s sci-fi drama ends in a…
