X(2370) emerges as glueball-dominated particle in collider experiments
At the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Brazil, the BESIII Collaboration report that, after 15 years of sustained research, it identified the dominant constituent of the X(2370) as a pseudoscalar glueball with spin-parity quantum numbers of 0⁻⁺.
Two-qubit entangling gate flags its own errors as detectable photon losses
Quantum errors are a normal part of quantum computing because fragile physical qubits (the tiny components storing data) can easily break down because of environmental noise, like heat, stray signals or microscopic vibrations.…
Typical fixes involve vast amounts of extra hardware qubits, which mak…

New quantum microscopy trick quadruples microscope resolution
Three years after a team of Caltech scientists showed that pairs of entangled photons could double the resolution of a light microscope, the same lab has figured out a way to double down on that improvement.…
They have now achieved a fourfold resolution boost compared to a class…
Crossing into a mirror world: Particles turn to wisps of fog, and the magnetic monopole paradox dissolves
In Goethe's ballad "Erlkönig," immortalized in Schubert's fevered 1815 setting, a dying boy riding through the night sees a spectral king beckoning from the darkness.…
His father calms him: "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif"—my son, it i…
In the poem, the father's reassurance proves tragically wrong.
In the quantum world, however, his words acquire an uncanny new meaning.
Discovery of 'slow' electrons in 2D material could lead to new memory device
