Have you ever wondered what it would be like if machines could hear the world in ways far beyond human ears? For years, computers have been good at recognizing speech, canceling noise and simulating ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn’t how fast calculations can be done—it’s how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

Entanglement—linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other—is at the core of the quantum revolution changing the face of modern technology. While ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin drumhead-like membrane that lets sound signals, or phonons, travel through it with astonishingly low loss, better than even electronic circuits. These ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

A team of Caltech scientists has fabricated a superconducting qubit on a chip and connected it to a tiny device that scientists call a mechanical oscillator. Essentially a miniature tuning fork, the ...
