A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never done ...

Max Planck is widely recognized as the father of quantum theory for his groundbreaking work on energy quanta. His initial ...

A new calculation shows how five atoms interact in the Efimov effect. It marks a major leap in quantum physics. Matter behaves weirdly at the quantum scale, one of the strangest examples being the ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can ...

So, get this – scientists have managed to get a quantum computer to do something pretty wild. They’ve basically made a ‘time ...

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

Quantum scientists have taken a leap forward in sensing technology, revealing a new method to measure extremely small signals ...
