The phenomenon was coined the "fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect," and theorists have been keen to find an explanation for how fractional charge can emerge from pentalayer graphene. The new ...

A research team discovered a quantum state in which electrons move in a completely new way under a twisted graphene structure. The unique electronic state is expected to contribute to the development ...

Ju discovered that when he sent an electric current through the pentalayer structure, the electrons seemed to pass through as fractions of their total charge, even in the absence of a magnetic field.

Bristol, London and Washington, D.C, 26 March 2025: Quantum algorithms company Phasecraft said it has developed a novel approach to quantum simulation that improves efficiency while cutting ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

A team of US researchers has unveiled a device that can conduct electricity along its fractionally charged edges without losing energy to heat. Described in Nature Physics, the work, led by Xiaodong ...

Google claims to have developed a quantum computer algorithm that is 13,000 times faster than the most powerful supercomputers. This would bring the technology another step closer to real-world ...
