Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially changing the computing paradigm.

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of 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, ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

In 1697, Newton solved a challenge overnight — but the real breakthrough came from a deeper idea that would outlive them all.

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

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 ...

PBSC's Quantum Innovation Center in downtown West Palm Beach will be the county's latest step in making high tech part of its ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
