Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a promising ...

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light led by Dr. Birgit Stiller has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in waveguides considerably further than has ...

With all of the current quantum computing chatter and, arguably, quantum hype, you’d think we had quantum computing figured at least to the point where we know what one will actually look like. Not ...

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn't how fast calculations can be done—it's how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

The quantum ground state of an acoustic wave of a certain frequency can be reached by completely cooling the system. In this way, the number of quantum particles, the so-called acoustic phonons, which ...

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering postdoctoral researcher Hong Qiao is the first author of a new paper demonstrating deterministic phase control of the mechanical vibrations known as ...
