Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

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 ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

Could the deepest laws of nature ever be reduced to lines of code? A team of physicists from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy has come up with a definitive answer: no. A new ...
