A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

A team of scientists has used an IBM quantum computer to simulate the magnetic behavior of potassium copper fluoride, known as KCuF3, and the results match key features in experimental neutron ...

When designing a next-generation quantum computer, a surprisingly large problem is bridging the communication gap between the classical and quantum worlds. Such computers need a specialized control ...

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...

If you can't make it to campus, the IRT Open Virtual Computer Lab is a great alternative to help you stay connected to the essential tools you need for coursework: Most Sac State colleges have their ...

A new type of quantum computer has proven that it can reign supreme, too. “This is the first independent confirmation of Google’s claim that you really can achieve quantum supremacy,” says theoretical ...
