What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...

Physicists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology were, for the first ...

Quantum computers are so far held back by their complexity. Engineers at Stanford have now demonstrated a new relatively simple design for a quantum computer where a single atom is entangled with ...

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have demonstrated a precise method for ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon ...

In quantum mechanics, however, a particle can exist not just in distinct states, like the heads and tails of a coin, but in a so-called superposition — roughly speaking, a combination of those states.

For almost a hundred years, physicists suspected the answer was yes, but they couldn’t describe it properly without breaking ...

In everyday life, continuously doing work on a system is found to heat it up. Rubbing your hands together warms them.

Researchers have unveiled a new quantum material that could make quantum computers much more stable by using magnetism to ...
