Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

"Quantum" may seem like a useless buzzword, but quantum computing is a real thing, and it's actually understandable even if ...

Later work by others built on this, showing that these energy levels are a fundamental part of how the universe works at the smallest scales. It was a huge step in moving away from older ideas about ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Diamonds are no longer just prized for their brilliance. In cutting-edge physics labs, synthetic diamonds with carefully ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...
