A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art ...
