Physicists once treated Einstein’s picture of a clockwork universe as the gold standard for what “reality” should look like, ...

A quiet shift is taking place in physics labs that could one day reshape how you send a message, store data, or protect ...

Quantum computers could one day blow boring old classical computers out of the water, but so far their complexity limits their usefulness. Engineers at Stanford have now demonstrated a new relatively ...

It's one thing to dream up a quantum internet that could send hacker-proof information around the world via photons superimposed in different quantum states. It's quite another to physically show it's ...

Quantum computers, which operate leveraging effects rooted in quantum mechanics, have the potential of tackling some ...

Quantum computers will be able to assume highly complex tasks in the future. With superconducting quantum processors, however ...

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 ...

On the International Space Station, astronauts are weightless. Atoms are, too. That weightlessness makes it easier to study a weird quantum state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Now, ...
