AI might be king of the tech zeitgeist, but a little further down the road, just out of sight, quantum computing is growing. As a technology AI is a lot easier to understand and far more tangible than ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Quantum physics often reveals phenomena that defy common sense. A new theory of quantum scarring deepens our understanding of the connection between the quantum world and classical mechanics, sheds ...

Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are prioritizing collaboration over competition to advance quantum computer development ...

John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at a press conference in Stockhom, Sweden October ...

Quantum mechanics education has evolved significantly over the past decades, as instructors and researchers work to bridge the gap between abstract quantum principles and practical applications.

While AI has been getting most of the attention as a world-changing technology lately, there’s another technology on the horizon that has the potential to reshape the world: quantum computing.

The year was 1900 and Max Planck was a young physicist working on the problem of blackbody radiation. This was an intense area of research because the experimental data—the radiation emitted by ...

The foundations of quantum mechanics rest upon a rich tapestry of experimental discoveries and theoretical insights that revolutionised our understanding of nature at the microscopic scale. At its ...

The development comes after 2025 was observed by UNESCO as the centenary year of quantum mechanics, marking a new phase for quantum science and technology worldwide.

The image depicts a quantum scar connected between conductors. It can be controlled using a so-called nanotip carrying an electric charge. Quantum physics often reveals phenomena that defy common ...
