Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

As the name suggests, this new type of computing relies on quantum mechanics — including what Albert Einstein referred to as the “spooky action at a distance” that allows tiny particles of matter to ...

A team from UNIGE shows that it is possible to determine the state of a quantum system from indirect measurements when it is coupled to its environment.

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 ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most important features of a quantum particle is whether it is an introvert—a ...

In the education space, quantum computing could usher in an entirely new generation of customized AI tutoring, though it ...
