One of the most profound open questions in modern physics is: "Is gravity quantum?" The other fundamental ...

With greater control over the quantum realm, physicists are poised to make major leaps in quantum computing, quantum gravity and more.

Soft robots are known for their flexibility and adaptability, but most still rely on rigid electronic components for control ...

One of those was the mechanical oscillator, and [Integza] had a go at replicating the device himself. (Video, embedded below the break.) Initial attempts to reproduce the technology using 3D ...

A device capable of associating qubits with a mechanical oscillator has just been developed, challenging the traditional limitations of so-called virtual qubits. This breakthrough lays the foundation ...

This incredible quantum innovation is a two-in-one system combining the abilities of a mechanical oscillator and a superconducting qubit. Compared to the traditional virtual qubits that are ...

A simple type of mechanical oscillator is a clock pendulum, and a more complex example is an atomic clock – the most accurate timepiece in the world – which keeps time according to the oscillation ...
