Researchers demonstrate orbital hybridization in graphene-based quantum dots, revealing how anisotropic confinement influences electronic states at the atomic scale. Quantum dots, often described as ...

Atomic orbitals (red & blue), which determine how far electrons can move around their originating atom in a material, can trap those electrons in place—a new source of frustration that researchers can ...

Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, ...
