At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...

By adjusting a simple chemical ratio, scientists discovered a new way to control exotic quantum states that could underpin the next generation of quantum computers.

Discover the Python and NumPy concepts that are easy to forget but essential for quantum physics calculations. This tutorial highlights key functions, array manipulations, and numerical techniques ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

(Nanowerk News) Although systems consisting of many interacting small particles can be highly complex and chaotic, some can nonetheless be described using simple theories. Does this also pertain to ...

Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new ...

Quantum entanglement can link two objects even when they are separated by extremely large distances. But a new study has found a limit at which such quantum correlations stop – and surprisingly, ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
