Tiny molecules that can think, remember, and learn may be the missing link between electronics and the brain. For more than ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

A research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has succeeded in exciting the atomic ...

At the turn of the 20th century, physicists realised their understanding of the subatomic world was wrong. A new theory was born: quantum mechanics. Despite defying everyday notions of the nature of ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

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 ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...
