A new study has revealed how tiny imperfections and vibrations inside a promising quantum material could be used to control ...

When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two ...

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

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

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.

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have identified a precise sweet spot where quantum reservoir computing, a machine learning approach that treats quantum systems as computational engines, reaches ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

While the basic form of QKD enables information to be transmitted securely, it does have some weak points. One of them is that a malicious third party could steal the key by hacking the devices the ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.
