The device, described in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, generates phonons—a quantum mechanical description of ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn’t how fast calculations can be done—it’s how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

It was a head-spinning discovery. In 2018, researchers in Japan claimed to find concrete evidence of an elusive particle, a ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) ...

Invisible infrared waves are emitted by IR LEDs and detected by photodiodes to enable devices like remotes, automatic ...

Since the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park was backed by the state about two years ago, quantum technology ...
