A new quantum device can generate precisely controlled bursts of sound-like particles, or phonons, by forcing electrons through an ultra-thin crystal at extremely low temperatures. The surprising ...

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 ...

A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light led by Dr. Birgit Stiller has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in waveguides considerably further than has ...

Organizations should be able to add quantum-safe protections in specific parts of their systems, then expand as confidence ...

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.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if machines could hear the world in ways far beyond human ears? For years, computers have been good at recognizing speech, canceling noise and simulating ...

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.

While conventional computers store information in the form of bits, fundamental pieces of logic that take a value of either 0 or 1, quantum computers are based on qubits. These can have a state that ...

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering postdoctoral researcher Hong Qiao is the first author of a new paper demonstrating deterministic phase control of the mechanical vibrations known as ...
