The gap between conventional and quantum computers is closing when it comes to simulating scrambling of quantum information Figure 1: A close-up of the trapped-ion ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

Physicists working at ultra-low temperatures have stumbled onto a quantum phase that should not exist according to the usual ...

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

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...

U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," the award-giving body said on Tuesday ...
