Until now, creating quantum superpositions of ultra-cold atoms has been a real headache, too slow to be realistic in the ...

Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Upanishads, delivered a series ...

Biological systems, once thought too chaotic for quantum effects, may be quietly leveraging quantum mechanics to process ...

Scientists in China have transmitted encrypted images a record 12,900 kilometers, paving the way for quantum messaging ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely ...

Majorana qubits could be error resistant. But after a contentious talk at the Global Physics Summit, scientists aren’t convinced Microsoft has them.

Theoretical physicists James Hartle and Stephen Hawking, for example, proposed that rather than having a strict beginning as ...

He suggested that these quantum effects might be playing a role in maintaining the genetic stability in living organisms.

Quantum computing has so far nearly always involved calculating with qubits — quantum objects that can take the value ‘0’ or ...

Quantum entanglement is a fascinating phenomenon where two particles' states are tied to each other, no matter how far apart the particles are. In 2022, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Alain ...

Physicists continue to argue over Microsoft’s qubit claims. The entire field hangs in a delicate balance.
