In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Space and sci-fi games are lining up to make 2026 a landmark year, from hardcore 4X strategists to families discovering the ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For a future quantum internet to ...

Whether or not Washington ever takes those stakes may matter less than what the rumors represent. We’re witnessing a fusion of industrial policy and market psychology unlike anything since the ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

Quantum computers based on ions or atoms have one major advantage: The qubits themselves aren’t manufactured, and there’s no device-to-device variability among atoms. Every atom is the same and should ...

Does quantum mechanics really reflect nature in its truest form, or is it just our imprecise way of describing the weird properties of the very small? A famous test that can help answer this question ...

On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: three shiny new medals, 11 million Swedish kronor (to be divided ...

Three U.S.-based scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for their discoveries in quantum mechanics. The award was given to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for ...
