For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

The light interacts with the cavity and makes an arbitrary number of bounces before leaking out. This emergent light is traditionally treated as heat in quantum simulations. However, it can still be ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

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 ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

When we look at the world at the tiniest scales, things get very weird. Take a wild ride through the quantum world, from the discoveries that reveal its strange rules to the amazing technologies it ...

A teenager from Belgium has just vaulted from prodigy to pioneer, completing a PhD in quantum physics at 15 and immediately ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

Quantum computers will be able to assume highly complex tasks in the future. With superconducting quantum processors, however ...
