Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a quantum device, capable of ultra-fast operation, a key step toward ...

Diamonds are no longer just prized for their brilliance. In cutting-edge physics labs, synthetic diamonds with carefully ...

Did you know that China has invested over $15 billion in quantum computing research? This staggering figure highlights the intense global competition to lead in this groundbreaking technology. Quantum ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The characteristics of a new, iron-containing type of material that is thought to have future applications in nanotechnology and spintronics have been determined at Purdue ...

Argonne National Laboratory announced it has successfully deployed and is running a 12-qubit quantum dot device built by Intel, with the first collaborative work published in Nature Communications. - ...
