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

A team in China has demonstrated the simultaneous teleportation of multiple sideband qumodes in a continuous-variable system, overcoming a longstanding technical barrier.

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 ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study reveals that electrons don’t just need energy to escape solids — they need the right “doorway state.” (CREDIT: MPQ, ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

Diamonds are no longer just prized for their brilliance. In cutting-edge physics labs, synthetic diamonds with carefully engineered flaws are becoming one of the most promising platforms in modern ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...

Scientists advocate against the militarization of quantum research, urging transparency and ethics in defense funding for ...

The two children had never seen anything quite like it. “It’s electricity that gives to the whole entire airport!” guessed 8-year-old Ishaan Jain. “It should spin,” added his sister Siya, 4. Ishaan ...

Even if quantum technology may seem far from widespread use, experts warn of the need to invest and build its infrastructure for economic growth and national security — now. Researchers, public sector ...
