A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their ...

Scientists uncover secrets of black holes using quantum computing and machine learning, revealing new insights into space, ...

New quantum computing research reveals that black holes may not have chaotic singularities but structured quantum states, ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

Looking back, the rapidity with which quantum mechanics took shape is striking. The equivalence of the matrix and wave formulations was established in the spring of 1926, unleashing a string of ...

The researchers formally specified quantum circuits in Maude, as a series of quantum gates and measurement applications, represented as basic matrix operations using laws of quantum mechanics with ...

Did these researchers truly just crack our fundamental concepts of (quantum) physics wide open? As it turns out, not really. Much of the confusion stems from the fact that photons aren’t little ...

Quantum mechanics is the best tool we have to understand how the universe works on its smallest scales. Everything we can see around us, from far-off galaxies to our own bodies, is made up of ...

These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. "An Act of Desperation" In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the ...
