Leaping forward with quantum technology. — Image by © Tim Sandle. LEGO for the quantum age? Researchers have created modular superconducting qubits that can be ...

Multivariate porous materials (MTV) are like a "collection of Lego blocks," allowing for customized design at a molecular level to freely create desired structures. Using these materials enables a ...

However, quantum states are fragile, and their effects are difficult to grasp, making research into real-world applications particularly challenging. With their nanographene "quantum Lego," Empa ...

To create such an artificial quantum material, the Empa researchers used tiny pieces of the two-dimensional carbon material graphene. The shape of these nanographene molecules influences their ...

Empa researchers have experimentally recreated a fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, originally proposed by Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg. The experiment was based on "quantum ...

According to quantum mechanics, our universe is like a Lego set. All matter particles, as well as particles such as light that act as messengers between them, come in discrete blocks of energy. By ...
