Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

No single country or region dominates quantum-physics research in the Nature Index; institutions from China, Europe and the United States all feature in the top 10. The University of Science and ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

Students are getting a unique perspective on the quantum field and industry through a program they themselves are helping to shape. Quantum Scholars, which launched in 2023, is providing community and ...

Quantum distance refers to a measure of quantum mechanical similarity between two quantum states. A quantum distance of one means that the two quantum states are the same, whereas a quantum ...

Physicists have struggled to understand the nature of time since the field began. But a new theoretical study suggests time could be an illusion woven at the quantum level.

Quantum computers in space could be useful for communications networks or for testing fundamental physics.
