The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

A team in China has demonstrated the simultaneous teleportation of multiple sideband qumodes in a continuous-variable system, overcoming a longstanding technical barrier.

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Noakes emphasized that all high-tech firms have three main needs: talent, money and ideas. In fact, as he explained, ...
