In December 2024, Google’s Willow chip became the first quantum processor to demonstrate “below threshold” error correction.

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 ...

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

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Abstract: The wave functions and permitted energy levels of quantum systems, which characterize the probability distributions and particle behaviors, are able to be determined via the time-independent ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

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

Scientists in Paris discovered two new substances with incredible radioactivity. It earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.
