In a leap forward for quantum computing, physicists unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built as a proof-of-concept for the scientists' design, ...

Physicists may be using mathematical assumptions in many situations that forbid time from moving backwards – but that isn’t necessarily a reflection of quantum reality ...

Plus: Stopping asteroids from hitting Earth, solving climate change with fertilizer and building strength by eating grapes.

In a groundbreaking study, scientists developed new ways to control atom collisions using optical tweezers, offering insights ...

For a field that many have long considered decades away, quantum computing sure is getting a lot of buzz in Silicon Valley.

Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it ...

Quantum mechanics is the study of the dynamics of particles at its most fundamental level. The state of a particle, such as its position or momentum, is described by a statistical distribution ...

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney have proven that ...

The approach, called the Beryllium Electron capture in Superconducting Tunnel junctions experiment (BeEST) works because the ...

Quantum calculations amount to sophisticated estimates. But in 1931, Hans Bethe intuited precisely how a chain of particles ...
