The quantum world is famously weird—a single particle can be in two places at once, its properties are undefined until they ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Every message we send online, whether a bank transfer or a meme, relies on light. Tiny pulses travel through fiber-optic ...

Everyday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, ...

A new paper published in Nature Communications could put scientists on the path to understanding one of the wildest, hottest, and most densely packed places in the universe: a neutron star.

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

The Aquila magneto-optical trap in QuEra’s facilities. Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits.

A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the center of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light scattered by the ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...
