Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe ...

Optical microcavities have emerged as pivotal tools in modern photonics, enabling the manipulation and control of light within minuscule volumes. By confining electromagnetic fields in high‐quality ...

Quantum optics and waveguide quantum electrodynamics represent rapidly evolving frontiers at the intersection of photonics and quantum science. These disciplines explore the fundamental interactions ...

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in a random way. These random interactions between spins make it impossible ...

Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the best-tested theory in physics describing all electrical and magnetic interactions ...
