Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, ...

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly referred to as noise. To minimize these disturbances, physicists often study ...

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers ...

The Nobel committee said that the laureates' work provides opportunities to develop "the next generation of quantum technology, including quantum... STOCKHOLM — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

Two promising pure-play quantum computer companies to consider are D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ). The ...
