Researchers at Osaka University’s Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (SANKEN) used the shortcuts to the adiabaticity (STA) method to greatly speed-up the adiabatic evolution of spin qubits. The spin flip fidelity after pulse optimization can be as high as 97.8% in GaAs quantum dots. This work may be applicable to other adiabatic passage and will be useful for fast and high-fidelity quantum control.

A quantum computer uses the superposition of “0” and “1” states to perform information processing, which is completely different from classical computing, thus allowing for the solution of certain problems at a much faster rate.

High-fidelity quantum state operation in large enough programmable qubit spaces is required to achieve the “quantum advantage.” The conventional method for changing quantum states uses pulse control, which is sensitive to noises and control errors.

Nvidia on Monday announced a hardware and software platform for building human-like robots that includes generative artificial intelligence features.

At some point, theoretical physics shades into science fiction. This is a beautiful little book, by a celebrated physicist and writer, about a phenomenon that is permitted by equations but might not actually exist. Or perhaps white holes do exist, and are everywhere: we just haven’t noticed them yet. No such controversy exists about black holes, wh…

Exploring the cutting edge of genetic engineering, the development of programmable recombinases and zinc finger domains is ushering in a new era of precision in DNA manipulation. These advances enable precise genomic alterations, from single nucleotide changes to the insertion of large DNA segments, potentially transforming the landscape of therapeutic gene editing and opening new possibilities in personalised medicine.
