Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

China’s program is centrally directed and tightly controlled by the state, while the U.S. approach is intentionally open and designed so partners can operate within a shared framework.

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

Time is a straightforward concept - or is it? The passing of minutes and years isn't as easy to explain as many assume.

Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

To demonstrate this tragic oversight, Feynman dropped a sample of the O-ring rubber in a glass of ice water. The rubber grew ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

As well as being useful for creating an optical ion clock, this multi-ion capability could also be exploited to create quantum-computing architectures based on multiple trapped ions. And because the ...

Artist, researcher, and visual storyteller, Nina Elder (b. 1981) has been invited to be an Artist-in-Residence at Lycoming ...
