Two recent studies published in Nature and Science Advances explored quantum approaches that could improve the precision of ...

Scientists learned that reading a quantum clock requires orders of magnitude more energy than running it. This surprising imbalance reveals that observation itself shapes the flow and thermodynamics ...

The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

Researchers in Austria have entangled matter-based qubits with photonic qubits in a ten-ion system. The technique is scalable to larger ion-qubit registers, paving the way for the creation of larger ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping - the act of measurement itself. In a study published today (14 Nov) in Physical Review ...

Vincenzo Savona, head of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of Nanosystems. 2025 EPFL/Murielle Gerber- CC-BY-SA 4.0 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Physics has a reputation for being dominated by men, especially a century ago, as quantum physics was just being invented – ...
