At first glance, the Fibonacci sequence might seem like no more than a bit of mathematical trickery. But look around, and it pops up again and again and again, in computer science and in nature. It’s ...

Physicists shot a laser pulse sequence mimicking the Fibonacci sequence at a quantum computer and ended up creating a new phase of matter. According to popular science mag Nature, the newfound phase ...

This mind-bending property offers a sought-after benefit: Information stored in the phase is far more protected against errors than with alternative setups currently used in quantum computers. As a ...
