For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art ...

Neutral-atom arrays utilize atoms trapped in place by tightly focused laser beams known as optical tweezers in 1D, 2D, or 3D ...

Caltech physicists report they have created the largest qubit array assembled to-date: 6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers. Previous arrays of this kind contained only hundreds of ...

In 1986, American physicist Arthur Ashkin developed a fascinating tool that could gently pick and move microscopic objects like cells and molecules without touching them. This tool, called optical ...

This image shows 6,100 cesium atoms trapped by highly focused laser beams called optical tweezers. The width of the circle is about one millimeter. Quantum computers will need large numbers of qubits ...

In a major accomplishment for quantum mechanics research, scientists at Durham University in the UK have achieved the first-ever quantum entanglement of molecules. The team used precisely controlled ...

ETH Zurich scientists have levitated a tower of three nano glass spheres using optical tweezers, suppressing almost all classical motion to observe quantum zero-point fluctuations with unprecedented ...
