Quantum Private Comparison Protocols enable multiple parties to compare confidential data without disclosing the underlying information, utilising the principles of quantum mechanics such as ...

A team of scientists has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in wave-guides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant ...

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) ...

You can’t divide the indivisible, unless you use quantum mechanics. Physicists have now turned to quantum effects to split phonons, the smallest bits of sound, researchers report in the June 9 Science ...

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.

Andrew N. Cleland receives funding from various US federal funding agencies. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is ...

Quantum entanglement has shifted from a philosophical puzzle to a design brief for engineers working at the scale of atoms, photons and phonons. As researchers learn to control this fragile ...
