Scientists have pulled off a mind-bending quantum experiment that sounds almost impossible: they showed that tiny metal ...

Two RIKEN physicists have established new theoretical limits for experimentally measurable quantities by viewing solids ...

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 ...

U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action", paving the way for the development of ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Stockholm — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research on seemingly obscure quantum tunneling that is advancing digital technology.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated a new type of quantum interaction using a single trapped ion. By ...

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 ...
