After delivering novel computational methods for nuclear problems, doctoral candidate plunges into startup life Like the atomic particles he studies, Pablo Ducru seems constantly on the move, vibrating with energy. But if he sometimes appears to be headed in an unexpected direction,...

System “recruits” defects that usually cause disruptions, using them to instead carry out quantum operations.

A new study suggests a path to more efficient error correction, which may help make quantum computers and sensors more practical.

For Analyce Hernandez, there are few greater pleasures than venturing into the unknown. Take her experience during January’s Independent Activities Period (IAP), for instance. Hernandez, a double major in Course 8 and Course 22-ENG, signed up for “Build your own Fusor,” a...
