Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of ...

A team at the University of Oxford has coaxed a single trapped ion into a quantum state so exotic it has no classical ...

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 ...

The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an insight with potentially major ramifications. Imagine standing on a railway ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...

Quantum AI is the combination of the computational power of quantum computing with the learning and pattern recognition ...

Teleporting people through space is still science fiction. But quantum teleportation is dramatically different and entirely real. In this episode, Janna Levin interviews the theoretical physicist John ...

Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to more quickly solve problems that are too complex for non-quantum, i.e., classical, computers. This rapidly emerging technology can be applied to a number of ...
