This idea feels almost impossible from the perspective of everyday life, yet it lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. Today, scientists like me are learning how to harness these strange quantum ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

During the 2024-25 school year, students in Southern Adventist University’s physics club taught lessons about the basics of Quantum Information Science and Technology (QUIST) at three local schools.

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Quantum mechanics depicts a counter-intuitive reality in which the act of observation influences what is observed — and few can agree on what that means. Everyone has their favourite example of a ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical ...

Free-space QSDC does not require the laying of optical fibers, which can effectively prolong the transmission distance and break the limitation of terrain. It is one of the solutions to the "last mile ...

To commercialize quantum computing, manufacturers need high-quality superconducting materials for microchips, but they also ...

Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line from one point to another. That seems obvious, because in the world we see ...
