Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

Computers, the internet and digitization have been major driving forces of innovation over the last 50 years, but classical computing architecture has its limits. Quantum computing is emerging as a ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...
