In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.

Classical computers store zeros and ones separately in binary digits, also known as bits. Quantum computers store them ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843. But in his ...

A groundbreaking study has challenged centuries of scientific consensus, potentially unravelling our understanding of how light behaves. Research from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics may ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

Does quantum mechanics really reflect nature in its truest form, or is it just our imprecise way of describing the weird properties of the very small? A famous test that can help answer this question ...

The quantum computing sector offers an exciting new area to invest in. Quantum machines can perform sophisticated calculations beyond the capabilities of current classical computers. This tech could ...
