Super Micro's shares have rallied almost 300% this year, driven by strong growth and investor interest in AI-related companies. The company's AI-optimized server products have been a key revenue ...

The energy states of electrons in an atom follow the laws of quantum mechanics: they are not continuously distributed but restricted to certain well- defined values – this is also called quantisation.

Researchers at ETH have managed to trap ions using static electric and magnetic fields and to perform quantum operations on them. In the future, such traps could be used to realize quantum computers ...
