“Breakthrough by UChicago, Argonne researchers could help pave way for quantum infrastructure Afuture quantum network may become less of a stretch thanks to researchers at the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory and Cambridge University. A team of researchers announced …
“Directing light from place to the place is the backbone of our modern world. Beneath the oceans and across continents, fiber optic cables carry light that encodes everything from YouTube videos to banking transmissions — all inside strands about the size …
“Despite their immense promise to solve new kinds of problems, today’s quantum computers are inherently prone to error. A small perturbation in their surrounding environment— a change in temperature, pressure, or magnetic field, for instance—can disrupt their fragile …
“Sometimes to know what the matter is, you have to find it first. When the universe began, matter was flung outward and gradually formed the planets, stars and galaxies that we know and love today. By carefully assembling a map …
News University of Chicago scientists discover material that can be made like a plastic but conducts like metal
“‘Like conductive Play-Doh’: Breakthrough could point way to new class of materials for electronics, devices Scientists with the University of Chicago have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more …
“A new “quantum flute” experiment by University of Chicago physicists could point the way towards new quantum technology. The holes create different wavelengths, akin to ‘notes’ on a flute, that can be used to encode quantum information. University of Chicago …
“UChicago chemists hope breakthrough can help accelerate drug discovery Every time a new cancer drug is announced, it represents hundreds of researchers spending years behind the scenes working to design and test a new molecule. The drug has to be …
“Breakthrough at UChicago could pave the way for applications in robotics, computing using soft materials Researchers with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for …
“Controlled for first time, quantum phenomenon could suggest avenues for technology University of Chicago scientists have been able to create a new kind of quantum object at will in the laboratory: “domain walls.” The discovery can help researchers better understand …
“Unique study could point way to new approach, uses for quantum technology For humans, background noise is generally just a minor irritant. But for quantum computers, which are very sensitive, it can be a death knell for computations. And because …
