A growing number of quantum engineers worldwide have been trying to realize large-scale quantum networks, which consist of ...

Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But scientists at MIT and Harvard have just taken precision to an entirely new ...

A new debate in quantum physics is shaking the foundations of modern science. Tim Palmerargues that nature may not follow continuous mathematics at all. His theory questions irrational numbers, wave ...

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the spontaneous magnetic fluctuations of nuclear spins in a macroscopic sample ...

Advances in quantum technology might allow astronomers to circumvent age-old issues that limit the size of optical observatories ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...
