Quantum physics has quietly been rewriting the rulebook on matter, and the latest breakthroughs suggest that the so‑called ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

IBM is innovating quickly as it pushes toward useful quantum computing. The company has a clear roadmap and the resources to ...

In the mid-20th century, physicists at Bell Laboratories ignited a technological renaissance with the invention of the transistor, an innovation that ushered in the digital age and is arguably one of ...

Michel Devoret, a Yale professor emeritus of applied physics, won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics alongside John Clarke and John M. Martinis, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

With utmost precision: Using special nanographene molecules, the researchers were able to realize a theoretical model from quantum physics. The smallest unit of information in a computer is the bit: ...

Future generations of Yale quantum scientists, engineers, and physicists likely won’t know the details of the monumental effort underway today to reshape the upper slope of Science Hill on campus. But ...

The image illustrates a tiny nanoscale heat engine connecting hot and cold sides. The temperature difference drives a current, generating power, but both current and power are noisy hindering precise ...

This ambiguity should give quantum computers true “superpowers”. At least in theory, quantum-based computers can perform calculations in fractions of a second that stump today's best supercomputers.
