A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

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

Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems.

There is a seemingly endless list of problems to be solved and issues to be addressed in vendors’ steady march toward quantum computing. Researchers in Europe say they recently solved a “decades-old ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

A plucked guitar string can vibrate for seconds before falling silent. A playground swing, emptied of its passenger, will gradually come to rest. These are what physicists call "damped harmonic ...

AALTO, Finland — Scientists have potentially solved what many consider physics’ most challenging problem – reconciling Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, without adding any new ...
