Physicists have performed the first quantum calculations to be carried out using individual atoms sitting on a surface. At some level, everything in nature is quantum and can, in principle, perform ...

You probably know what a crystal is. We’ve all seen one, held one in our hands, and even tasted one on our tongue (for instance sodium chloride crystals, also known as “salt”). But what on earth is a ...

Researchers have developed a method to make previously hardly accessible properties in quantum systems measurable. The new method for determining the quantum state in quantum simulators reduces the ...

Microsoft on Wednesday said it is expanding its quantum facility just outside the Danish capital Copenhagen, by building its ...

On the second day of the IOP conference at the RI, I chaired a debate that brought together four future leaders of the ...

A ‘quantum processor’ has solved a physics problem on the behaviour of magnetism in certain solids that would take the largest conventional supercomputers hundreds of thousands of years to calculate.

Christopher Nolan's new film 'Oppenheimer' features complex science. He brought on scientists to make sure he got it right, but they said they didn't have to do much. Nolan had researched enough about ...

Stealthy communication just got more secure, thanks to quantum entanglement. Quantum physics provides a way to share secret information that’s mathematically proven to be safe from the prying eyes of ...
