A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Physicists are preparing an experiment that sounds like science fiction: a device designed to snare individual particles of ...

Quantum computing is the bleeding edge of computer science and stands to solve AI's energy consumption problem. IonQ is an ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time — shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them?To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, but to physicists ...

This year, quantum science and computing came up a lot. There have been broad claims that quantum science and engineering could one day help cure diseases, design new materials, optimize supply chains ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...
