Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without ...

Dislocation dynamics examines the behaviour of line defects within crystalline materials—imperfections that are central to understanding plastic deformation. At the microstructural level, the motion ...

Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections ...

Illustration of an intense laser pulse hitting a diamond crystal from top right, driving elastic and plastic waves (curved lines) through the material. The laser pulse creates linear defects, known as ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...
