The operation of quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, relies on the ...

UNSW engineers have made a significant advance in quantum computing: they created 'quantum entangled states'—where two ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

Imagine if electricity could flow without resistance, or if computers could process data at unimaginable speeds. Achieving ...

Made out of a fluorescent protein, the qubit is just 3 nanometers in diameter, scientists report August 20 in Nature. By hitting the protein with laser light, tweaking it with microwaves and observing ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

Yale researchers just made the first, albeit simple, quantum processor. The processor is made of two artificial atoms (each made of a billion aluminum atoms) that act like single atoms that can occupy ...
