Quantum Private Comparison Protocols enable multiple parties to compare confidential data without disclosing the underlying information, utilising the principles of quantum mechanics such as ...

A team of scientists has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in wave-guides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant ...

A crucial building block for quantum computers based on sound has been shown to work for the first time. One popular way of building quantum computers is to encode information into quantum states of ...

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 ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) ...
