A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

The internet was abuzz with praise for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday after clips showing him schooling a reporter on quantum computing went viral. During a press briefing at the ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring them together. This breakthrough ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...
