Rigetti and D-Wave will be able to break away from the pack, while Quantum Computing’s technology poses a challenge, an ...

Today, quantum computing may represent a similar opportunity. Like AI, quantum computing could be a game changer. Quantum ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

The fact that electrons have the quantum property of spin is essential for our world as we know it. Yet physicists don’t think the particles are actually spinning.

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

So while quantum mechanics sees all particles as behaving in the same way, due to history, there is a simplified classical theory for photons but no simplified theory for the other particles.

These particles can be well-described by the physics of the quantum field theories underlying the Standard Model, but whether they are fundamental is not yet known. E. Siegel / Beyond The Galaxy ...

More a quantum lattice, which could lead to breakthroughs in superconductivity and other practical applications. L.W. Cheuk et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 193001 (2015) ...

Three scientists who laid the groundwork for the understanding of the odd "entangling" behavior of quantum particles have received the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics.

In quantum physics, atoms and other particles behave like waves that can add and subtract, just as two swells merging in the ocean make a larger wave. At the end of the atoms’ flight, ...

Quantum physicists regularly ask you with a straight face to accept what seems to be complete nonsense. Particles are also waves; cats are alive and dead at the same time.
