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

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

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a picture of our reality – or even whether that is possible ...

Biology and quantum physics often seem like they belong to separate worlds. Living cells function in warm, noisy environments ...

Stop forcing business growth. Learn how quantum physics principles like the observer effect and wave function create ...

A new study addresses a foundational problem in the theory of driven quantum matter by extending the Středa formula to ...

Made out of a fluorescent protein, the qubit is just 3 nanometers in diameter, scientists report August 20 in Nature. By hitting the protein with laser light, tweaking it with microwaves and observing ...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of ...

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 ...

Paweł Moskal from Jagiellonian University talks about positronium imaging with the J-PET scanner and his team’s work in ...

Despite quantum’s recent surge in public awareness, our generation has been reaping the benefits of quantum mechanics for our ...

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 ...
