Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, challenging long-held principles of entropy and energy dissipation in microscopic ...

Researchers have been able to initiate a controlled movement in the very heart of an atom. They caused the atomic nucleus to interact with one of the electrons in the outermost shells of the atom.

Quantum computing startup Atom Computing Inc. announced today the forthcoming availability of what it says is a 1,225-site atomic array, populated with 1,180 qubits, within the next generation of its ...
