A new study shows that electron spins—tiny magnetic properties of atoms that can store information—can be protected from decohering (losing their quantum state) much more effectively than previously ...

Quantum magnetometers can detect incredibly small changes in magnetic fields by tapping into the strange and powerful ...

Quantum coherence allows scientists to start off the sensor in a well-understood state that will persist over time. This ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large ...

Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

QGGPf is a gradiometer, an instrument that measures variations in Earth's gravity by comparing the acceleration at which two ...

NASA and partners are building the first quantum gravity sensor for space, a breakthrough instrument that uses ultra-cold ...

"We could determine the mass of the Himalayas using atoms," Jason Hyon, chief technologist for Earth Science at NASA's Jet ...

Understanding gravity's influence on qubits reveals challenges in decoherence and potential for new quantum technologies and ...

which allowed the sensor to detect tiny magnetic changes. This layer had a spin coherence time (T2) of 20 microseconds, meaning it could maintain quantum information long enough for accurate ...
