Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they ...

When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could ...

Majorana particles offer a promising solution for stable quantum computing, utilizing nonlocal encoding and topological ...

Charles Kane, a theoretical physicist at Penn, will receive the Lorentz Medal for his research on topological insulators, ...

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

In the not-too-distant future, quantum technology will become a disruptive force that has the capacity to rethink computers, ...

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Quantum computers can solve problems beyond the ...

Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s fastest supercomputers. But today’s machines are notoriously fragile. The quantum bits, or “qubits,” that store ...
