2+ week, 13+ min ago   (586+ words) Published in Physical Review X, the experiment provides the first demonstration of a prediction proposed more than 20 years ago. The approach could eventually offer a new foundation for practical quantum technologies. Connecting Distant Quantum Bits Entanglement is one of the…...

2+ week, 23+ hour ago   (694+ words) Scientists used a new error correction strategy to encode 70 logical qubits and tackle a problem considered classically intractable. The quantum computation was completed in about 15 minutes, while leading classical computing methods would require an impractical amount of time to perform…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (674+ words) For about a century, scholars studying the Assyrian Empire have treated the Assyrian King List (AKL) as the standard record of the kingdom's rulers and the order in which they reigned, particularly during the later phases of Assyrian history. A…...

4+ week, 5+ hour ago   (498+ words) Quantum computers have the potential to speed up computation, help design new medicines, break codes, and discover exotic new materials -- but that's only when they are truly functional. One key thing that gets in the way: noise or the errors…...
