They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

For more than a century, a single metal cylinder in a Paris vault quietly defined what a kilogram was. After 130 years, scientists deliberately killed that object’s authority and rebuilt the standard ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

Montana State's QCORE quantum center has received a $31.5 million Air Force grant, making it one of seven global institutions ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...
