Quantum catalysts are specialized resources that enable quantum state transformations previously thought impossible, holding ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

Physicists have directly visualized the fundamental electronic building blocks of flat-band quantum materials, a class of systems in which electron motion is effectively quenched and strong ...

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 ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.

Quantum cryptography poses two questions for higher education technology leaders: What matters now, and what will matter ...

Louisiana Tech University senior Jesse Webb will represent the United States this April at the NYU Abu Dhabi International Hackathon for Social Good, one of the world’s premier student quantum ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

Professor Adam Sikora is helping advance and popularize the growing field of quantum topology, which connects topology and geometry with quantum physics through surprising cross-fertilization of ideas ...

The 2026 Turing Award celebrates quantum cryptography's inventor and pioneers. Learn how their physics-based security model defends global data against next-generation quantum computers.

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...
