The quantum internet aims to utilize principles of quantum mechanics (such as quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation) ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Catalysts are indispensable for the large-scale production of many chemicals, as they accelerate chemical reactions. Some of ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Rather than choosing between the two, a layered “defense-in-depth” strategy is rapidly becoming the gold standard. Combining ...

PsiQuantum Inc., a well-funded quantum computing startup, said today it has raised $1 billion in late-stage funding to ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
