The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to ...

While a quantum computer could factor a 2048-bit RSA key in less than a week with fewer than a million qubits, there are ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

Detecting dark matter—the mysterious substance that holds galaxies together—is one of the greatest unsolved problems in ...

Quantum computers hold great potential for solving many problems more quickly or efficiently than conventional computers, but ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results from the oscillation of its pendulum. These phenomena can be understood with ...

Tohoku University researchers have found a way to make quantum sensors more sensitive by connecting superconducting qubits in ...

Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum ...

A crystal’s beauty comes from how perfectly its atoms line up in space. In 2012, Nobel Prize–winning physicist Frank Wilczek ...
