Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists at Ohio State University have taken a step toward the development of powerful new computers -- by making tiny holes that contain nothing at all. The holes -- dark spots in ...

A quantum computer built using giant atoms controlled by laser light may be enough to imitate some functions of the brain, such as memory and decision-making. Rodrigo Araiza Bravo at Harvard ...

Temperature adds another challenge. Standard DFT is essentially a zero-temperature approach, so thermal effects must be ...

Researchers solving today’s most important and complex energy challenges can’t always conduct real-world experiments. This is especially true for nuclear energy research. Considerations such as cost, ...
