Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe ...

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 ...

Quantum computing could change the world. It could transform medicine, break encryption and revolutionise communications and artificial intelligence. Companies like IBM, Microsoft and Google are ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

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, ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.

Theoretical physicists have proposed a potential solution to one of the most puzzling problems in modern physics: the black hole singularity paradox. By modifying Einstein's theory of general ...

The post-quantum era is still “several decades away,” but it could be a net positive for the Bitcoin network’s security. Advancements in quantum computing have the potential to strengthen the Bitcoin ...
