The experimentalists had built a “mechanical qubit”: they’d stored a basic unit of quantum information in a mechanical device that vibrates like a drumhead. The article dubbed the device a “steampunk qubit.
“Energy from the thermal environment, channeled through one of the quantum refrigerator’s two qubits, pumps heat from the target qubit into the quantum refrigerator’s second qubit, which is cold. That cold qubit is thermalized to a cold environment, into which the target qubit’s heat is ...
A major challenge in qubit development is extending the coherence time, i.e. the time in which qubits can store information in a stable manner. Being able to control qubits and keep them stable enough to exploit their characteristics in practical applications will be crucial to the feasibility o...
By the above proposed definition, which I contend is stringent yet reasonable, realization of a topological qubit remains an ongoing effort. Fortunately the journey to that end offers many significant science and engineering milestones worth celebrating in their own right. Examples include: Platform ver...
medical and device therapies have demonstrated the capacity of the heart to reverse, at least in part, the failing phenotype. However, a more careful characterization of the molecular changes associated with this effect is necessary to define true myocardial recovery, in which a failing heart rega...
*The philosophical implications:* Does entanglement point to a deeper interconnectedness in the universe? We'll tackle the big questions! This video is for anyone curious about the mysteries of the quantum world, from beginners to seasoned science enthusiasts.Get ready for a journey that will chall...
a particular strategy within IBM and IBM Research is that we’re not just doing research and then we’re going to do development and then it’s going to go on this very linearized product journey. It’s all integrated together as we are moving forward. And so therefore, we have the opp...
To become an expert in the field of time crystals, a multifaceted approach is required, encompassing theoretical foundations, experimental techniques, potential applications, and ethical considerations. Here's a study guide and reading list to guide your journey towards becoming well-versed in this exc...
you can plan your entire journey, eliminating the hassle of navigating different websites or apps for flights, hotels, and transportation. A well-designed travel app brings all essential services into a single, user-friendly interface. Instead of hopping between airline websites to compare fares or...
In developing this Report, our team has been on a journey to the edge of the “Quantum Realm.” And if I had to summarize what we discovered, I would say: The quantum computer is quantum: it does not exist, and yet it exists! This summarizes well one of our key messages: even ...
