Drawing on the example of a quantum simulation, physicists Guido Burkard and Joris Kattemölle from the University of Konstanz illustrate how harnessing symmetry dramatically lowers the computational ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation ...

Quantum computers promise to solve problems that overwhelm classical machines, but their most stubborn obstacle is noise that scrambles fragile quantum states before any useful answer emerges. A new ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

Quantum group theory has emerged as a fundamental extension of classical symmetry concepts, unifying algebraic, geometric and analytical methods. Originating from efforts to deform universal ...

This month, Symmetry presents a series of articles on the past, present and future of quantum research—and its many connections to particle physics, astrophysics and computing. On July 25, 2018, a ...

This video provides a simple explanation of symmetry and gauge theory, focusing on their foundational role in physics. It discusses symmetry as actions that leave an object's appearance unchanged, ...

A seven-member physics collaboration has demonstrated theoretically that a chain of superconducting qubits — coupled in a carefully alternating pattern — can ...
