The Physics Nobel Prize goes to a trio for proving quantum weirdness—like particles passing through walls—can happen in the real world. A foundation for quantum computing.

A first-of-its-kind quantum computer is now live in NYC, built with AI in mind. But can it really change the future of model training and efficiency?

On the centennial of modern quantum mechanics, the Nobel Committee awarded the year’s most prestigious physics prize to an experiment that demonstrated how quantum effects play out on large scales—including inside your smartphone. In fact, the implications of this year’s winner—quantum tunneling—stretch way beyond the device in your pocket.
