In a laboratory in Broomfield, Colorado, 98 atoms are suspended in midair, held in place by electric fields and cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero.

Scientists may have spotted a long-sought triplet superconductor — a material that can transmit both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. That ability could dramatically stabilize ...

Scientists have developed a new way to read the hidden states of Majorana qubits, which store information in paired quantum modes that resist noise. The results confirm their protected nature and show ...

Kathleen Fisher reveals the recipe for funding innovative science that she brings to the UK Advanced Research and Invention Agency. The UK Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) is three years ...

Microsoft disagrees. A peer-reviewed critique of Majorana 1 claims Microsoft did not conclusively demonstrate a working topological qubit. Microsoft disagrees. But in a peer-reviewed article, Henry ...
