A specially tweaked classical computer system has just solved a physics problem so complex it was thought to be impossible without a quantum computer. The problem is the simulation of what are called ...

University of Utah physicists stored information for 112 seconds in what may become the world’s tiniest computer memory: magnetic “spins” in the centers or nuclei of atoms. Then the physicists ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University physicists have built a critical component for the development of quantum computers and spintronic devices, potentially bringing advances in cryptography and ...

A novel magnetic material with an extraordinary electronic structure might allow for the production of smaller and more efficient computer chips in the future: the p-wave magnet. Researchers from ...

We’ve long known that encoding data using electron spin could revolutionize computer performance – and now it’s been successfully demonstrated for the first time ever. Ohio State researchers built a ...

Converting the spin wave into an optical signal is the first half of the spin-to-charge conversion process. In the next step, the optical signal can be coupled to electrons, forming the basis for the ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Physicists at the University of California, Riverside have taken an important step forward in developing a "spin computer" by successfully achieving "tunneling spin injection" into ...
