The team achieved a record-breaking coherence time of 12.6 seconds—the longest ever for hyperfine qubits in an optical tweezer array. They also maintained an imaging survival rate of 99.99%, meaning ...

An international team of researchers has identified a quantum counterpart to Bayes’ rule. The likelihood you assign to an event is influenced by what you already believe about the surrounding ...

It may take up to two decades before quantum computing's potential is realised, but countries and corporations are investing heavily in this potentially game-changing technology so that they can be ...

For decades, quantum computing has felt like something out of science fiction — abstract, theoretical, and always “10 years ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

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 ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
