Quantum physics just pulled off a rewind trick that sounds like sci-fi. Here’s what the experiment actually did—and why it ...

“There’s a whole quest to build a quantum computer,” Frank Verstraete, one of Belgium’s top quantum physicist, tells me. “All the big technology companies like Google and Amazon and IBM are pouring in ...

Quantum computers will need large numbers of qubits to tackle challenging problems in physics, chemistry, and beyond. Unlike ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Have you ever felt confused by quantum physics? Ever thought you've read enough and still don't understand quantum physics? Don't worry, you're not alone! Even the world's best scientists don't ...

Foundational research is paving the way for next-generation quantum sensors. Physicists in Australia and the United Kingdom ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

Some quantum computing applications are 'many years away, and some of the applications are [possible] today', says D-wave's Murray Thom.

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

Quantum computing is expected to leave classical computing in the dust when it comes to solving some of the world’s most fiendishly difficult problems. The best quantum machines today have one major ...
