Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Physicists have provided strong support for quantum entanglement, the seemingly far-out idea that two particles, no matter how distant from each other in space and time, can be inextricably linked, in ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

Using two ancient galactic cores called quasars, researchers have taken a massive step forward toward confirming quantum entanglement — a concept that says that the properties of particles can be ...

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

Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales Schrodinger’s skinniest kittens Must the Schrodinger’s Cat be fat enough ...

Quantum physics fundamentally redefines our understanding of nature by describing the behaviour of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Unlike classical theories, quantum mechanics reveals that ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

One of the potential advantages of quantum computers that scientists are most hopeful about is molecular simulations. These simulations are too complex for classical computers to perform with enough ...

At just 15, Laurent Simons has earned a PhD in quantum physics. Scientists are watching closely as his work and future ambitions could shape next-generation science and human health.
