Quantum Particles, Unlike the Cheshire Cat, Can’t Separate From Their Properties, After All
Insider Brief Researchers previously claimed Cheshire cat-like quantum particles are able to separate from their properties. However, new work demonstrates that these experiments instead display another counterintuitive feature of quantum mechanics — contextuality. A University of Hiroshima-led team of researchers conducted the study, published in the New Journal of Physics. PRESS RELEASE — The quantum […]
Researchers Make Strides in Generating Stable Qubits at Room Temperature
Insider Brief A team of researchers report that they have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature. The team embedded a chromophore, a dye molecule that absorbs light and emits color, in a metal-organic framework. While the coherence was observed only for nanoseconds, the researchers say the work could pave the way for designing materials for […]
