ETH Zurich researchers captured a nano-object (centre of the image) using a laser trap. The laser light, which is focused with a lens, is shown in red. Three nano glass spheres cling to one another.

The intriguing rules of quantum physics almost always fail when you move from atoms and molecules to much larger objects at high temperatures. This is because the bigger an object gets and higher the ...

Quantum computers, computing systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers in various optimization and computational tasks.
