It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

For more than a century, the laws of thermodynamics have helped us understand how energy moves, how engines work, and why time seems to flow in one direction. Now, researchers have made a similarly ...

Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum ...

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern ...

A new type of germanium superconductor could allow classical and quantum chips to be built into one device, creating better ...

Waveguide-style approach promises to pair the versatility of phononic quantum technologies with the tight control of photonic ...

CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

This simple behavior is what makes superconducting circuits so useful as a technology. Today, superconducting circuits are used to study fundamental quantum physics, to simulate ... Unsurprisingly, ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...

Christopher Nolan's new film 'Oppenheimer' features complex science. He brought on scientists to make sure he got it right, but they said they didn't have to do much. Nolan had researched enough about ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...
