Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

Can two versions of reality exist at the same time? Physicists say they can — at the quantum level, that is. Government ...

An international team, headed by Dr. Chul-Hee Min and Professor Kai Rossnagel at Kiel University (CAU), has successfully unraveled a significant mechanism.

On 14 November, the Faculty of Physics offers quantum research to touch, participate in and marvel at. From family lectures to science slams: guests ...

Researchers at tech giant IBM ($IBM) have developed a new quantum algorithm that shows a notable speed advantage over the best classical methods, ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

The team used intense X-rays to confirm a key theoretical concept that explains a material's conductivity crash.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional understanding of material behavior and hinting at a mysterious “new duality” ...

This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers captured a spectacular new image of the Milky Way across a wide range of radio ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...
