A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

The CMS and ATLAS experiments recently detected quantum entanglement between top quarks in high-energy collisions at the LHC. What does that mean? Quantum entanglement links subatomic particles in a ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Physicists have long been pursuing the idea of simulating quantum particles with a computer that is itself made up of quantum particles. This is exactly what scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists in Vienna have uncovered two new kinds of continuous quantum time crystals, revealing how quantum effects can create ...

Scientists built a quantum gate linking four-state photons, showing complex quantum tasks can be done with fewer steps using qudits.

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.
