Physicists have achieved a breakthrough by using a 58-qubit quantum computer to create and observe a long-theorized but never ...

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

ETH Zurich researchers levitated a nano glass sphere cluster with record-setting quantum purity at room temperature, avoiding costly cooling. Using optical tweezers, they isolated quantum zero-point ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental science and potential quantum technologies. For decades, quantum ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
