Uranium Ditelluride as a Topological Superconductor
Scientists on the hunt for an unconventional kind of superconductor have produced the most compelling evidence to date that they’ve found one. In a pair of papers, researchers at the University of Maryland’s (UMD) Quantum Materials Center (QMC) and colleagues have shown that uranium ditelluride displays many of the hallmarks of a topological superconductor–a material that may unlock new ways to build quantum computers and other futuristic devices.

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and Quantum Information, Both Under the Microscope
A football is not a quantum particle. There are crucial differences between the things we know from everyday life and tiny quantum objects. Quantum phenomena are usually very fragile. To study them, one normally uses only a small number of particles, well shielded from the environment, at the lowest possible temperatures.
