At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

The discovery was achieved by researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in Austria, who worked together with ...

Topological phases are at the heart of many advances in photonics and materials science. In a recent eLight paper, ...

The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that building Majorana 1 required that it create an entirely new state of matter, which ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

Quantum physics has quietly been rewriting the rulebook on matter, and the latest breakthroughs suggest that the so‑called fifth state is no longer a niche laboratory curiosity. From orbiting ...

Microsoft scientists have created a quantum processor that taps into a rare state of matter that was first theorized in the 1930s, paving the way for a processor with a million qubits within years.

Properties that remain unchanged when materials are stretched or bent, which are broadly referred to as topological properties, can contribute to the emergence of unusual physical effects in specific ...

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that ...
