It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...

Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of Schrödinger’s famous cat that is both “here” and “there” at once. By pushing ...

Researchers have created a quantum superposition state in a semiconductor nanostructure that might serve as a basis for quantum computing. The trick: two optical laser pulses that act as a single ...

Quantum computing may sound like science fiction, but it’s here today, and it represents the shiny new thing in high performance computing. Where classical computers make use of binary bytes to store ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
