Amid high expectations for quantum technology, a new paper in Science reports a proven quantum advantage. In an experiment, ...

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test ...

One often-repeated example illustrates the mind-boggling potential of quantum computing: A machine with 300 quantum bits ...

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

Quantum computers are beginning to become powerful tools for studying some of the most fundamental forces in the universe – and some of the trickiest to understand. Two experiments have used them to ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...
