A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

Quantum technologies promise revolutionary advances in computing, sensing and information processing. However, controlling ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information using the principles of quantum mechanics, could solve some problems that ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

This article, prepared in conjunction with AFCEA’s Technology Committee, is the second in a series of three articles addressing quantum computing. The inaugural article, "The Current State of Quantum ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

Quantum physics describes matter and light in terms of discrete quanta and inherently probabilistic rules that depart from classical intuition. At its heart lie wave–particle duality—entities such as ...
