It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets ...

Was there ever any choice in the Universe being as it is? Albert Einstein could have been wondering about this when he remarked to mathematician Ernst Strauss: “What I’m really interested in is ...

This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke (University of California, Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale University and University of California, Santa Barbara) and John M.

The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying phenomenon in the quantum realm could be observed on an electrical circuit in our ...

Some quantum systems may have two arrows of time, one running forwards as usual and another moving backwards. This means that, at some extremely small scales, time may have the option of moving in ...

A cornerstone of quantum physics is uncertainty. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states the more precisely you pinpoint the position of a particle, the less precisely you can know its momentum at ...

The capability of qubits in a quantum computer to maintain their quantum mechanical state (their superposition state) over time. Otherwise, errors are generated. Maintaining this coherent state and ...

Using quantum computing and classical computing together to solve a problem. Both quantum processing units (QPUs) and central processing units (CPUs) are used. For example, classical solvers may ...
