Quantum mechanics powers lasers and precision measurements. A century-spanning perspective examines those successes and the ...

The objects you interact with every day are predictable – you can pick up a box, sit down in a chair without falling to the ...

Researchers at IBM Quantum and partner universities have used mid-circuit measurements and adaptive feedback on a ...

Eddy Keming Chen is a philosopher of physics at the University of California, San Diego. Was there ever any choice in the Universe being as it is? Albert Einstein could have been wondering about this ...

Once called a "pipe dream," quantum computers are now approaching practical use. Companies and research institutes around the ...

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom-thin insulator that can be easily switched into a superconductor. The research promises ...

Simulating the non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum field theories in nature is generally intractable with classical methods, but is a promising application for quantum computers. Unfortunately, ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...

Simulations deliver hints on how the multiverse produced according to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics might be compatible with our stable, classical Universe. Figure 1: Like a set ...

As a being whose body contains billions of billions of atoms, I am subject to certain rules. To walk through my front door, I first have to open it. If I throw my jacket onto a chair, it will move in ...
