Tennis is often proclaimed to be “the world’s healthiest sport,” with the slogan emblazoned on the court at the U. S. Open in previous years. “Tennis is uniquely situated to inspire healthier people,” Dr. Brian Hainline, a neurologist and former president of the U. S. Tennis Association, said in a 2024 statement.

A practical quantum computer must eventually be able to handle any type of quantum algorithm, much like a conventional laptop can run many different kinds of software. Researchers have now demonstrated a new way to reach that level of flexibility using unusual quantum objects known as non-Abelian anyons. Scientists from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME), Harvard, Stony Brook University, and Quantinuum created and tested a full set of operations based on non-Abelian anyons. Their results provide the first experimental demonstration that this approach can support the broad range of operations required for universal quantum computing.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:Astrophysicists used telescopes to study a type of neutron star called a fast-pulsing magnetar. They found that the magnetar shows evidence of vacuum birefringence, in which different light polarizations travel at different speeds. This specific magnetar has high X-ray and radio wave output, making it ideally measurable. A large, global team of scientists recently collaborated to study an unusual neutron star—known as a magnetar—in search of a quantum phenomenon called vacuum birefringence. Incredibly, they were able to find strong evidence for this long-predicted quantum electrodynamic phenomenon because of the combination of powerful X-ray radiation and an extra strong magnetic field on the star’s surface. The work appears now in the peer reviewed journal Nature. Birefringence is a Latin-derived term for the refraction (or bending) of light into two discrete beams that are parallel, but differently polarized. Vacuum birefringence, therefore, is when an analogous effect happens in an environment like outer space, where there are no particles to blame for the refraction.
