Quantum computing promises to solve the seemingly unsolvable in fields such as physics, medicine, cryptography and more.

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

Researchers Mitsuyoshi Kamba, Naoki Hara, and Kiyotaka Aikawa of the University of Tokyo have successfully demonstrated ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

In the not-too-distant future, quantum technology will become a disruptive force that has the capacity to rethink computers, cybersecurity, science, and data analytics ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have successfully transformed light into a supersolid, an unusual state of matter that exhibits properties of both a solid and a fluid. This discovery ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Caltech president and pioneering physicist Thomas Rosenbaum, an expert in the promising field of quantum physics, will join Purdue University President Mung Chiang in April for ...

ETH Zurich researchers levitated a nano glass sphere cluster with record-setting quantum purity at room temperature, avoiding costly cooling. Using optical tweezers, they isolated quantum zero-point ...

In a major breakthrough, scientists have observed a strange and previously theoretical form of light — known as negative light. This marks the first time in human history that such a phenomenon has ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...
