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.

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

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in light manipulation by using topological insulators to generate both even and odd terahertz frequencies through high-order harmonic generation (HHG). By ...

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.

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

Scientists have created the first real-time 3D simulations of how lasers alter the quantum vacuum. Using cutting-edge computational modeling, scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration ...

Trapped and squeezed: A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the centre of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light ...

Quantum computing is starting to become increasingly viable. Although the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race is still ongoing and heating up, there's another important computing trend that's on ...

Quantum computing is a paradigm shift poised to redefine problem-solving, innovation, and competitive landscapes.
