Quantum computing startup Seeqc Inc. announced today that it has created a classical computer chip that can operate at temperatures close to absolute zero, enabling it to work with quantum processors ...

A cloud of atoms with a temperature beyond absolute zero – which is also bizarrely hotter than any positive temperature imaginable – could be a mysterious new quantum state of matter. Luca Donini at ...

Scientists have demonstrated a cryogenic circuit that enables faster control of photons, marking a key advance in quantum technology and low-temperature light processing. (Nanowerk News) Scientists at ...

Researchers have successfully created and sustained a Bose-Einstein condensate—the fifth state of matter—aboard the ISS for ...

As winter in the Northern Hemisphere sets in, many of us are already dreaming of warmer climates and summer vacations. But, there is one place in the universe that makes even the coldest winter ...
