Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that's what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum ...

Quantum computers have the potential to transform science, accelerating breakthroughs in drug development, cosmology, ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom-thin insulator that can be easily switched into a superconductor. The research promises ...

Perimeter Institute exploring interplay of quantum mechanical laws and information processing. The promise of quantum ...

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 ...

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 ...

A cryostat from a quantum computer stands during a press tour of the Leibniz Computing Center in 2022. Qubit is a key term in one of the most buzzy areas of technology: quantum computing. Qubits are ...

In the pantheon of modern physics, few figures can match the quiet authority of Gerard ’t Hooft. The theoretical physicist, now a professor emeritus at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, has spent ...
