Programmable quantum computers have the potential to efficiently simulate increasingly complex molecular structures, electronic structures, chemical reactions, and quantum mechanical states in ...

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics honors a trio whose 1980s experiments made quantum circuits—and today’s quantum ...

John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis get the award for demonstrating quantum mechanical effects at the macroscale ...

The classic double-slit experiment of quantum physics involves shining light through two narrow gaps to show that it can behave as a wave – now it seems the slits can be entirely replaced by a single ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

In keeping with the grand tradition of tubby cats, a newly created quantum “cat” is particularly massive — at least for the quantum realm. Scientists put a jiggling piece of sapphire crystal in what’s ...
