What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely packed atoms? At EPFL, you get a metamaterial, an engineered material that ...

Caltech professor of chemistry Sandeep Sharma and colleagues from IBM and the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Japan ...

For over a decade, researchers have considered boson sampling—a quantum computing protocol involving light particles—as a key ...

Imagine detecting a single trillionth of a gram of a molecule—like an amino acid—using just electricity and a chip smaller ...

Scientists at EPFL have created a revolutionary biosensor that doesn't need a light source—it makes its own glow using ...

Optical biosensors use light waves as a probe to detect molecules, and are essential for precise medical diagnostics, ...

Quantum computing is just in its infancy. Companies are racing to build their best platform, which is no small task, ...

“They have argued that quantum probability theory better explains certain cognitive effects observed in the social sciences than classical probability theory,” Ghose tells Physics World.. “[But] most ...

The QUICK³ nano satellite will test components for future quantum satellite systems. The goal is to enable rapid and secure ...

In this view, if the probability of rain is judged to be 70%, this places it in the set of occasions in which the forecaster assigns a 70% probability. The event itself is expected to occur in 70% ...

In quantum physics, observing a system forces it to collapse into one state. ... “Quantum probability waves are waves after all—why not model them with sound?” said Padlewski.
