UC Riverside scientists link multiple quantum chips to grow quantum systems

More than 5,000 planets have been discovered beyond our solar system, allowing scientists to explore planetary evolution and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Now, a UC Riverside study published in Physical Review D suggests that exoplanets, which are planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, could also serve as tools to investigate dark matter.

More trees will cool the climate and suppress fires, but mainly if planted in the tropics, according to a new UC Riverside study. 

Peng Wei, an associate professor of physics at UC Riverside, has filed for a U.S. patent on a novel process that enhances the performance of quantum computers by coating niobium metal superconductor surfaces with an ultra-thin layer of gold.
