Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.

Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.

Quantum wells, fabricated through the precise layering of different semiconductor materials, create confined regions where charge carriers are restricted to two dimensions. This confinement gives rise ...

Quantum current standards and single-electron pumps form the cornerstone of contemporary electrical metrology and the redefinition of the ampere. By exploiting quantum mechanical effects—such as the ...

Purdue University has appointed Michael Manfra as its chief quantum officer, overseeing quantum initiatives and new degree ...
