Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a ...

Over the past few years, researchers have developed various quantum technologies, alternatives to classical devices that ...

Over the last few decades, it seems that every classical piece of technology has gotten a quantum counterpart. Of course, ...

Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from black-hole evaporation to neutron-star interiors.

In the world of next-generation energy, researchers are taking a leap beyond chemistry into the strange rules of quantum mechanics. A new type of battery, known as a quantum battery, is no longer ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

Just 100 years ago, on 9 July 1925, Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his friend, colleague and fiercest critic, Wolfgang Pauli. A few weeks earlier, Heisenberg had returned from the North Sea ...

Key TakeawaysScientists have used laser-excited thorium-229 to probe for ultralight dark matter, even without a fully built ...

Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...

Quantum physics is a branch of science that studies the tiniest things in the universe, like atoms and the even smaller parts ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...
