A Two-Dimensional Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulator Exceeds Classical Computing Capabilities

Researchers have built a two-dimensional trapped-ion quantum simulator that can perform quantum simulations beyond the reach of classical computers. This breakthrough paves the way for scaling up the number of controllable qubits to hundreds — a critical step for both quantum simulation and quan...

Hardware and Algorithm Advances Tackle the Grand Challenges of Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

Metasurface-generated tweezer arrays trapping atom arrays with 10,000 atoms, a millimeter-scale high-cooperativity optical cavity, and an efficient atom rearrangement algorithm – with these three breakthroughs, Tsinghua takes on the challenge of universal fault-tolerant quantum computing using a...

Breaking the Limits of In Vivo Imaging: RUSH3D Unveils 3D Biological Dynamics at the Mesoscale

A new mesoscale imaging paradigm integrates digital adaptive optics, scanning light-field microscopy, and deep learning to capture 3D cellular behaviors and functions across whole organs with unprecedented fidelity.For decades, biological imaging has been defined by a fundamental struggle between...

Decoding dengue transmission: linking host signals, vector infection, and symbiont-based control

A fragmented understanding of how mosquitoes locate infected hosts and support viral transmission has limited effective control strategies. Integrated insights into host-derived signals, extracellular vesicle–mediated infection, and symbiont-based interference now provide a mechanistic framework...

​Robert McRae of YMSC publishes major results on rationality of vertex operator algebras

Vertex operator algebras form a rigorous mathematical framework for two-dimensional conformal field theory and have deep connections with representation theory, low-dimensional topology, and quantum physics. A central goal in the field is to understand when a vertex operator algebra is strongly r...
