Explore quantum research, from error correction to new algorithms, with clear explanations of the evidence and the limits of each result.
Publication date where available; source report or sources-checked date otherwise.
Calculations suggest atomic vacancies could help shape topological electronic phases. The October journal milestone builds on a March preprint; a working device remains undemonstrated.
A new theory paper clarifies what correlations can establish and which ambiguities remain inside device-independent certification.
A local-probe NMR experiment reaches journal publication, with a clear boundary between spectroscopy and a working quantum register.
The accepted GaAs study reports a 4.05 ns gate and makes the supporting feedback overhead explicit.
The Kaggle challenge uses kickmix to seek smaller quantum circuits. Randomized tests check approximate correctness under stated conditions.
An accepted physics paper uses a qubit probe to test nonclassical behaviour. Its conservation-law and measurement conditions are essential to the result.
A Northwestern experiment brings a positron under quantum control. The next question is whether matter and antimatter match as precisely as physics expects.
New measurement protocols aim to reveal motion as well as position. They work within quantum uncertainty, not around it.
Newly published transport measurements probe an unusual boundary response. They do not yet establish a working topological qubit.
A peer-reviewed result strengthens bit-flip protection while keeping the comparison with phase errors visible.
Optical quantum-state smoothing improves retrospective estimates, with the assumptions about missing information kept explicit.
A neutral-atom co-design study connects physical noise, logical operations and application costs. Its resource gains remain conditional simulation results.
Three demonstrators bring core error-correction operations onto hardware. The company explicitly says its logical error rate is not yet below threshold.
An analysis of small entangled photon states tracks false heralds and distinct error channels. Conditional state quality alone does not measure useful output.
A propagation-assisted scheme lowers logical failure in specified simulated Clifford circuits. Runtime and memory scaling remain unquantified.
More than 600 optical sites bring uniformity, alignment and stability into focus. Cavity count is not an entangled-qubit count.
A classical emulator reproduces selected tests used in photonic advantage claims. Passing those tests does not make every sampling problem easy.
Superconducting processors probe competing order in a programmed spin model, with finite-size and finite-depth limits attached.
A two-laser microresonator advances one link in an optical clock’s measurement chain. A portable instrument needs more than a smaller comb.
A trapped-ion experiment uses both internal spins and collective motion to represent field dynamics. The journal publication follows a 2025 preprint.
Two ion motional modes undergo a coherent exchange operation. The gate’s exponential name describes its mathematics, not a speed advantage.
A levitated nanoparticle resolves tiny mechanical impulses from gas molecules. Detection thresholds and event selection determine what can be counted.
A rectangular surface-code memory improves as one dimension grows. Longer sequences reveal why the duration of the test matters too.
