In the context of quantum mechanics and information, "magic" is a key property of quantum states that describes the extent to which they deviate from so-called stabilizer states. Stabilizer states are a class of states that ...
A study in Nature Physics has realized a dual-species Rydberg array combining rubidium (Rb) and cesium (Cs) atoms to enhance quantum computing and its applications.
In a first for Germany, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have shown how tin vacancies in diamonds can be precisely controlled using microwaves. These vacancies have special optical and magnetic properties ...
