To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

A 91-qubit superconducting processor manages to simulate quantum chaos with unprecedented precision despite experimental noise.

Quantum computing has long been one of the most powerful and least accessible technologies in the world. It promises ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

One of the most striking outcomes of the surface-minimization framework is its ability to explain structural features that ...

The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...
