A team of scientists has used a quantum processor to create an exotic new state of matter, capturing the strange motion of quantum particles in real time.

Quantum computers have the potential to model new molecules and weather patterns better than any computer today. They may ...

Building a working quantum internet would require overcoming a host of technical challenges, but researchers who have built ...

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at why AI models struggle with finance, a revolutionary superconducting ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

A supersolid is a paradoxical state of matter—it is rigid like a crystal but flows without friction like a superfluid. This ...

What happens when the two most successful theories in science completely disagree? You get quantum gravity—a chaotic battlefield where time might not exist, and gravity behaves like a quantum ghost.

Trapped and squeezed: A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the centre of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light ...

Shares in America’s “Quantum Four” quantum computing companies surged again yesterday. D-Wave, IonQ, Quantum Computing, and Rigetti all saw their stock prices jump by double-digit percentages. But why ...

Quantum computing promises to disrupt entire industries because it leverages the rules of quantum physics to perform calculations in fundamentally new ways. Unlike traditional computers that process ...
