To understand quantum immortality, we first need to understand the characteristics of quantum matter. If you flick a physical object like a marble, with the exact same shape, with the same force and ...

A new platform developed by Illinois Grainger engineers demonstrates the utility of a ytterbium-171 atom array in quantum networking. Their work represents a key step toward long-distance quantum ...

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 ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics honours John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for revealing quantum phenomena in everyday circuits. Their experiments demonstrated quantum tunnelling and ...

Multiple universes and parallel worlds are all the rage in film and TV these days from the Marvel cinematic universe toStranger Things. But multiverses are more than just fiction, many scientists are ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Successful two-dimensional trapping of a nanoparticle at its lowest quantum state could lead to ultra-sensitive devices and exploration of the quantum-classical transition. In our macroscopic world, ...

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 ...

Quantum computing is a relatively modern technology that pioneering scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs worldwide are actively seeking to commercialize. For example, recently at CES (Consumer ...
