Researchers have come up with a radical new algorithm to significantly boost the performance of quantum computers in certain problems, and also show that classical solutions can be just as good in other circumstances.
Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics which enables them...
Scientists have created materials with surprising optical properties, from arrays of lego-like cubes, made of caesium lead tri-bromide.
Caesium lead tri-bromide is in a class of material known as perovskites, and, as cubic nanocrystals of size ten nanometres, acts as a quantum dot.
By assembling the cubes...
