This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

At Xanadu, Christian Weedbrook is using quantum technology to power breakthroughs in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals ...

The recently published book by Senior Researcher Vesa Apaja from the Department of Physics at the University of Jyväskylä ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

ETH Zurich scientists have levitated a tower of three nano glass spheres using optical tweezers, suppressing almost all classical motion to observe quantum zero-point fluctuations with unprecedented ...

New technologies are enabling scientists to tackle previously elusive physics problems. The macroscopic realm, which consists of everything from falling balls to orbiting planets, can be explained by ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

The internet, social media, and digital technologies have completely transformed the way we establish commercial, personal and professional relationships. At its core, this society relies on the ...

Quantum computing promises unprecedented speed at solving complex problems to drive breakthroughs in the fields of AI, ...

The US military has launched an initiative to determine how quantum devices and particles could augment traditional communication networks – like those that make up the internet – to make them more ...

A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space on August 21, 2025. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as ...
