Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Quantum computers promise to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s machines, but there is a stubborn obstacle ...

A team of physicists and education researchers is spearheading the largest study of its kind exploring how the United States can meet the needs of the rapidly growing quantum technology industry. The ...

An international team has confirmed that large quantum systems really do obey quantum mechanics. Using Bell’s test across 73 qubits, they proved the presence of genuine quantum correlations that can’t ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

How can a computer chip the size of a human hair enhance the future of quantum computing? This is what a recent study ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...
