Scientists say they’ve cracked a key challenge in scalable quantum hardware after generating an error-correcting, light-based qubit on a chip for the first time.

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

A multinational team has cracked a long-standing barrier to reliable quantum computing by inventing an algorithm that lets ordinary computers faithfully mimic a fault-tolerant quantum circuit built on ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Quantum computing can boost the accuracy of battery material simulations, optimize power grid flows and enhance the design of ...

According to a study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have ...

Physicists tested the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox, which is at the heart of quantum theory, to measure light ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

Their book, Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics (And Everyone Needs to Know Something About It), was a bestseller in Belgium. While it’s scientific non-fiction, it is also their love story.

Whether or not we have partial free will could soon be resolved by experiments in quantum physics, with potential consequences for everything from religion to quantum computers ...
