For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'. When you shine light through almost any transparent material, the gridlock of ...

Imaginary time is a wonky concept for our time-bound brains, but in quantum theory and mathematics, it’s a useful tool for exploring radiation's interaction with materials. A new study from scientists ...

The collaboration combined IonQ’s trapped-ion technology with ORNL’s quantum technologies capabilities to develop “a novel hybrid quantum algorithm based on the Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution ...
