Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

ANAHEIM, CALIF. — At the world’s largest gathering of physicists, a talk about Microsoft’s claimed new type of quantum computing chip was perhaps the main attraction. Before the talk, the chair of the ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...
