Ask a bunch of physicists to explain a quantum experiment and you’re unlikely to get the same description twice. Everyone agrees that the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics is peerless at ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space and time has remained fundamentally disconnected. Relativity unifies space ...

The two most chaotic forces in modern science – artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics – may be humanity’s best hope for solving our greatest challenges, writes Satyen K. Bordoloi When ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Quantum mechanics is usually described as the science of the very small — of electrons, atoms, and photons that behave in ways that defy the rules of everyday experience. Yet one of the most striking ...
