Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just to crunch through basic simulations. Now a new “physics shortcut” is ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

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 ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Quantum can learn from the AI hype cycle, finding ways to manage expectations of what could be a very transformative technology. In the near- and mid-term, we need to not overplay things and be ...
