When astronomers talk about directly imaging an exoplanet orbiting a faraway star, the analogy they most commonly use is ...

A new study published on arXiv suggests that quantum physics could provide astronomers with a new method to search for ...

This video provides a simple explanation of symmetry and gauge theory, focusing on their foundational role in physics. It ...

For years, researchers have tried to harness the "twist" of light to transmit data. This property describes how light spirals ...

To predict when we’ll have a truly useful quantum computer, we need to know precisely what one is. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan finds that’s harder to pin down than you might think ...

IBM and collaborators say their quantum computers outperform all known classical algorithms for three distinct tasks, but ...

New calculations seem to have put a 25-year-old particle physics puzzle to rest. But they’ve also created a clash with other ...

First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new study shows that this theoretical feline is really only the beginning of ...

The approach is known for high accuracy, but scaling it up while preserving that accuracy is technically difficult. Helios uses barium ions in what is called a quantum charge-coupled device, or QCCD, ...

Liang said that the chip's key indicators, including the lifetime of its qubits, its gate fidelity and the depth of its ...

A team of physics educators is focusing on a new approach to teaching quantum physics in schools. Traditional classroom teaching has tended to focus on presenting the history of the origins of quantum ...
