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

Quantum sensors built in nanometer thin boron nitride sheets endure extreme pressure, enabling precise measurements of stress ...

This is what fun looks like for a particular set of theoretical chemists driven to solve extremely difficult problems: Deciding whether the electromagnetic fields in molecular polaritons should be ...

Earth’s radiation can send some molecules spinning or vibrating, which is what makes them greenhouse gases. This infographic explains how relatively few heat-trapping molecules can have a planetary ...

With NSF support, physicists at Washington University in St. Louis create quantum sensors that track stress and magnetism at pressures exceeding 30,000 times Earth’s atmosphere.

Few topics in science are as fascinating and mind-bending as quantum computing and parallel universes. These concepts, ...

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

Day,” when quantum computers can break today’s encryption—possibly by 2030—posing risks for crypto, security, and finance.

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

Unlike traditional electronics, which rely solely on the charge of electrons, spintronics harnesses another quantum property ...

The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.
