For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

Controlling qubits with quantum superpositions allows them to dramatically violate a fundamental limit and encode information ...

Physicists successfully teleport quantum information between photons from different sources, a key step towards a secure ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, ...

Researchers at Brown University in the US have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum materials in a global first. These particles that defy traditional understanding of quantum ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Instead of electrons in a solid, the researchers used Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs), ultracold gases in which atoms behave ...

As with AI, part of the excitement is driven by the immense leaps that could be made in hard problems by a quantum computer.
