Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space and time has remained fundamentally disconnected. Relativity unifies space ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

Quantum entanglement, a bewildering phenomenon where particles become interconnected regardless of the distance separating them, challenges our fundamental understanding of reality. It has puzzled ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that revealed quantum behavior in electrical circuits, showing that even systems made of ...

What is it about quantum computers that makes them more powerful than conventional machines? A new experiment shows that the property of “quantum contextuality” may be a key ingredient. Quantum ...
