It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about the ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

In December 2024, Google's Willow chip became the first quantum processor to demonstrate "below threshold" error correction. That's the holy grail physicists have chased for 30 years. The chip showed ...

Quantum computing has become one of the most hyped frontiers in technology, yet the companies most loudly promising ...

Chinese scientists have proposed a new theoretical explanation for one of the oldest mysteries of physics — why time only ...

A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

Polymer thin-film optical cavities boost the magnetic sensing sensitivity of nanodiamond quantum sensors nearly fivefold ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

Physicists have found a way to study the inner workings of Josephson junctions without using electronics at all.

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