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

Have you ever doubted your knowledge or expertise? Noticed, if you’re a woman, that you receive less recognition than your male colleagues do, that your ideas were unheard in a discussion until they ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

Most of today's quantum computers rely on qubits with Josephson junctions that work for now but likely won't scale as needed ...

Wave’s history, the company made a decision to pursue annealing as its first technology to build a quantum computer because ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown, for the first time with very high time and spatial resolution, that electrons in ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

At first glance, quantum mechanics might seem strange or even impossible. That’s because our everyday experiences of the laws of physics are very different from how matter and energy behave at the ...
