By utilising quantum mechanics, a quantum computer can solve computational problems that today's supercomputers cannot. But there are problems. As the circuits in quantum computers get bigger, they become more difficult to control. Now researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles. This could enable larger and more complex circuits - crucial t

Entanglement, once dismissed by Einstein as an impossible phenomenon but later shown to be possible by Nobel Prize-winning physicists, continues to raise questions. How can we know that a particle has been controlled? How can we know that the measurements of entanglement we think we are detecting are not in fact misleading due to inadequate detectors? In a new scientific paper, Armin Tavakoli demo

Astronomers can use supercomputers to simulate the formation of galaxies from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the present day. But there are a number of sources of error. An international research team, led by Lund University and Seoul National University, has spent hundreds of millions of computer hours over eight years trying to correct these. The last decade has seen major advances in co

Particles, sometimes a long way from one another, can be entangled. This strange phenomenon completely confounds our intuition, but the explanation for it has been provided through quantum mechanics. Researchers at the Department of Physics show in a new study that entanglement can also be created in a new way, with the help of intense light, and that they can change the kinetic energy of electron

Thanks to the Gaia space telescope, scientists have discovered a black hole in the Milky Way. The object, Gaia BH3, is located in the Eagle constellation, less than 2 000 light years from the Sun. Lennart Lindegren, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at the Department of Physics, who has worked for many years to develop the measurement methods used by Gaia, is delighted with the new space discovery.

Mats Lindroos has suddenly left us. Until recently, he worked at the Department of Physics. We remember him as a passionate, brave and valued colleague. Mats was an adjunct professor at the Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics. His colleagues at the research division miss a valued fellow researcher:"Mats Lindroos, in memoriamIt was with great regret that we learnt of the sudden death of Mats L

How planets form is a question that has long vexed the world's astronomers. In recent years, the so-called pebble theory - where tiny gravel particles are sucked together - has gained ground. A new paper shows that ice plays a crucial role in allowing these celestial bodies to reach a certain size where they can continue to grow to planetary size. Just over 4.6 billion years ago, our planetary sys

An extraordinary event has taken place this summer in a small, overlooked village north of Uppsala, blending the rich history of Swedish religious movements with cutting-edge quantum research. The village of Mehedeby, home to fewer than 600 residents, recently hosted a remarkable science conference titled "Quantum Redemption" in its 125-year-old Free Church. The conference, organized by Lund Unive

In 2028, the first observations will be made at the world's largest optical telescope being built in Chile. It is now clear that the facility will be equipped with a powerful spectrograph that researchers in Lund will help to develop.

A few sharp minds working together for almost an entire summer. The task: to tackle the problem that a couple of days of work generates so much data, that it would take months to analyse. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is a technique that allows us to obtain precise and detailed structural information of materials and their properties, and to fundamentally understand physical processes at the atomi

A team of researchers, led from Lund, has discovered a small planet that has a peculiar way of moving in its orbit. The wobbling planet TOI-1408c, located 455 light years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be far more complex than scientists previously thought. The newly discovered planet has a mass equivalent of eight Earths and orbits very close to a larger planet, the hot gas giant TO
