The Princeton Quantum Initiative’s Ph.D. program is helping pioneer a field that promises to define the next era of discovery ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe ...

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the novel ...

An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference can be a feature. That odd timing sits at the heart of a new theoretical ...

Stephen Hawking's theory of black hole evaporation clashes with the laws of quantum mechanics. A new paper finds a way around ...

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

Two research groups say they have significantly reduced the amount of qubits and time required to crack common online ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of gravity, which explains the behavior of stars, planets, and the structure of the ...
